Beyonce settles lawsuit with video game company

Beyoncé Knowles has settled a $100 million lawsuit against a videogame company for allegedly backing out of a deal for a motion-capture dance game called “Starpower: Beyoncé.” In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court today, lawyers for the singer and for gaming outfit Gate Five signed an agreement dismissing “all claims or counterclaims” without attorneys’ fees. “We’ve settled amicably,” said Peter Gallagher, Gate Five’s lawyer. “I can’t discuss the terms of the settlement, but it was resolved.” Knowles had ditched the deal just before the winter holidays, claiming that Gate Five hadn’t secured promised funding. But the gamers countered that the diva dropped the deal on a whim.
