The two identical starlets are no push-overs! On Celebrity Justice, Mary-Kate and Ashley announced they are suing Acclaim for abandoning their game franchise and skimping out on promised royalties.
According to entertainment litigator Chuck Kenworthy, the twins are suing to protect their image and assert their dominance in the entertainment industry.
"It's not surprising that the Olsen twins are taking things to court, enforcing their rights -- they need to do that," Kenworthy told us. "The word gets out on the street that a performer is not enforcing his or her rights and you're going to get taken advantage of sooner or later."
The law suit maintains that the girls’ partnership with Acclaim is “the single dark spot” in their career. The suit is not about the money, but instead their pride. Acclaim has not commented on the suit.

I hope they win though, Acclaim need a good punch in the face.

But that was patched up, Maybe the Olsen Twins want to have a game based on them
just like hookers 
I care for neither, but I hope Acclaim burns in hell, they haven't had a decent hit since Turok.

And they aren't exactly identical, they're fraternal.

It's not that they make crap games. Well... not JUST that. Acclaim has been a moron festival ever since this generation began. Worst of all have been their "wacky zany" ad campaigns. Like the one where they would defile a grave to advertise for ShadowMan 2. Or where they would compensate your endangering of lives by paying off your speeding tickets on a certain day. Or their attempt to scar children for life by having them named after their washed up game character Turok. That kind of crap makes people remeber Acclaim for their asinine advertising rather than any game they've made. And Coincidentally, Acclaim has made nothing but near-unanimously concurred garbage this entire generation. And despite their obviously horrible games and stupid advertising campaigns, they still found the time to fling mud at a console manufacturer, shirking off all the fault that is so obviously theirs. So yeah, I guess you could say there is a lot of hatred for Acclaim nowadays.
The karmic wheel of justice now turns to Acclaim. It's hard to root for somebody in this case, but me, but I hope Acclaim loses just so they nearly go bankrupt and have to rethink their business.

It's kind of a shame though for Acclaim. Although they've brought all of their problems on themselves they're getting kicked while they're down and probably won't recover from this.

Actually they're paternal twins.
Also, for those who are following the countdown, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will be 18 and legal in: 6wks 5days 10hrs 56mins 41secs

And reading "MK&A claim Acclaim..." just made me laugh for some reason.

Soon they'll stop aging at some ripe age and then decimate humanity one beheading at a time.
