Tecmo Slap Itagaki With a Gag Order

And the Tecmo vs. Itagaki drama just keeps on rolling. Tecmo recently filed for a gag order in the Tokyo District Court against Tomonobu Itagaki, former employee, creator of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden, and the man leading a new class-action suit against the company by other employees. The order prohibits Itagaki from:

• Disclosing or leaking information regarding Tecmo’s game software, sales, development or any other company secrets
• Using newspapers, magazines and the internet to criticize company software and company employees
• Obstructing the company’s business through slanderous remarks to third parties
• Do not accept interviews regarding Tecmo or talk to the press about the company

Seems a little for this though, since Itagaki’s already said just about everything he wanted to say already. I have a feeling this is going to get real ugly before it gets resolved though.
