Biting the hand that feeds you gets you slapped back with bad karma. In this case, karma comes in the form of a US$ 2.1 million fine - and as a judge ruled this week, it's coming from Uwe Boll's pocket.

After bad-mouthing Fantastic Films International - the very film distributor handling his movies - Uwe Boll is now facing a libel case, with a judge's ruling of a fine. The story goes that Boll was sending out emails to Fantastic Films' various clients, criticizing the company. Of course, upper management got wind, and slapped him with a case.

The amount of US$2.1 million includes the US$ 200,000 to be imparted to the Fantastic Films owner, Roxane Barbat.

Oh well, it's not an outright ban from making videogame movies, but I suppose a fine will do.
