Gamestar.hu magazine giving away Tron 2.0?

Post by TronFAQ »

Hmm, what's this . . . the Hungarian version of GameStar magazine giving away Tron 2.0 on the included disc?

I'd like to know how they got Disney to agree to giving away free copies of the game. Seems like a small miracle to me.

Is it possible that Disney doesn't have a copyright in that country? Not sure how those apply globally.

It's true. They really are giving away Tron 2.0. Look at the top of the front cover. "Teljes Játék" means "Full Game".

Again, I wonder how the hell they managed that. They need Disney's permission.

I'm pretty sure they won't do that if they wouldn't have the permission, so the more important question is: what exactly was the idea behind, when disney grants this publishing? As they didn't related T:L/T:E to Tron2.0 directly, i don't see the marketing effect to suddenly spread out Tron2.0. Hmmm.

More proof, for those in disbelief. (Including me, to be honest.)

It's clear they got permission to release 2.0 this way. Like you said, X . . . the question is how/why?

That was surprising. Lets hope that the person that gets the Tron 2.0 know that Tron 2.0 isn't canon anymore.
Did that magazine meant Tron Evolution instead?

No one will be winning this, as 'give away' it is part of the cd content. So everyone, buying the magazin with cd, can play the game. And no, i don't think they ment T:E. As printing magazins is quite expensive, they won't do such a great mistake, just to announce the wrong game.
