The creator of the classic video game character James Pond, Chris Sorrell, has expressed strong disapproval of the upcoming "James Pond Legacy: The Pond Is Not Enough" collection. Sorrell claims he was not consulted on the project and that the developers lack respect for the franchise, particularly due to the alleged use of AI-generated art in the collection's menus and box art. Despite Sorrell's objections, he does not own the rights to James Pond, which is now jointly held by System 3 and Gameware Europe, the latter of which is also developing an AI-generated James Pond sequel.
