This is the best summary I could come up with:
"A ton of cases end up settling prior to trial, just to avoid the expense and for all the parties to get finality and certainty on their own terms," Tashroudian told Ars.
"There were going to be an inordinate amount of costs involved, and both parties were facing a lot of uncertainty at trial, and they wanted to get the matter settled on their own terms without putting it to a jury."
Tashroudian said that Twin Galaxies "had all of our ducks in a row" for an anticipated trial date, and that they were "very confident" in the facts they had laid out in filings during the discovery process.
As part of that apparent compromise, Mitchell was able to post a statement saying that "Twin Galaxies has reinstated all of the videogame world records that I achieved in my career."
That section predates "modern adjudication protocols," Twin Galaxies writes on the site, and is being provided "as a matter of archival integrity" to reflect "records under previous administrative standards."
The "live modern version" of Twin Galaxies' database still does not include Mitchell's submissions as part of its Donkey Kong high scores list.
The original article contains 505 words, the summary contains 192 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
