Trivia:

• On May 31, 2012 Epic Games prevailed in a lawsuit against Silicon Knights. As a result, Silicon Knights was forced to recall and destroy all unsold copies of their Unreal Engine games and they may never be printed again. 700,000 copies were sold before the lawsuit was settled, but due to the game's generally poor reception it isn't considered particularly collectable.

• In January 2013, Silicon Knights served a recall notice to Microsoft to remove Too Human from the Xbox Marketplace.
