Sony makes a move, Ghostbusters vids pulled from the web

Let’s talk for a while about ZootFly‘s planned Ghostbusters game. We all saw the videos. We all got excited (I did, anyway). Now we’re looking at the possibility that it’s never going to happen.

ZootFly’s Ghostbusters videos have just been pulled off of YouTube at the request of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The only thing you’ll see when you try to look for them is “This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Sony Pictures Entertainment because its content was used without permission.”

All references to the game have also disappeared from the ZootFly website. According to CVG, who contacted ZootFly about the issue, the developer says that “the videos were indeed removed at the request of Sony Pictures and all references to the game have been removed from its website while negotiations over the rights continue behind closed doors.”

Well, at least negotiations are still ongoing, so there’s still hope that the game will still see the light of day. With Sony now starting to move, maybe it’ll get a PS3 release. Heck, it could even become an exclusive. Whatever happens, though, we’re definitely making sure we don’t cross the proton streams.
