The 29-year-old from North Carolina was already under contract
to Acclaim Entertainment when he sued in February.
He had agreed to be featured in the XXX game, having been given
the impression that it would include adult slapstick comedy; but
when he discovered that it would feature material that he described
as "sexually explicit and pornographic," he demanded that his image
be removed from it.
He sued for $21 million, citing breach of contract, injury to
reputation, false advertising and invasion of privacy. The game
flopped when major retailers refused to stock it.
However, according to Monday's statement by Acclaim, its
differences with Mirra have been resolved, without paying him
monetary damages. The company said Mirra will remain in contract
with the company until 2011.
Without disclosing further details of the settlement, Acclaim
CEO Rod Cousens said: "We are pleased to have amicably resolved
this matter with Dave and anxiously look forward to resuming our
successful working partnership."
"I'm glad that this issue is behind us," added Mirra.
