The former Russian wrestler of freestyle Victor Zangiyev who has become a prototype of the character of Zangieff in the game Street Fighter IV, complained of the unfair contract with developers of game.

According to him, all other prototypes of characters of a game series earn, unlike it, quite good money for a royalty.





The distributor of Sony let out Street Fighter 4, in the first month they sold 5 million copies. These are serious money. Other characters receive any dividends, we owing to the illiteracy were left in the basket … To tell the truth, our lawyers are in this case very weak. It is necessary to address to the western experts, such firm as Sony, has true professionals who even won't bring to lawsuit, isn't necessary to them an anti-advertizing. It would be possible to start up part of the received money for development of youth sports. After all children at us really very good, it is necessary to show only the correct way and to direct them. And there they already will understand.
