Aristocrat must have had them dead to rights if they're paying out that much money AND meeting all demands. I wonder how much Aristocrat was actually seeking in damages.

Obviously it's a case of pirating and from Aristocrat they probably quite happy of winning the court battle even after a couple of years but a ban of using the word Arctic...!?...that seems a bit too much for me...even I'm not sure if I've broke a rule just now..😀
