By the time you look they'll have changed it, but I'll provide a link to the video article. I don't have my sound on and my computer is slow, so I have no idea what they are staying. It just looks like they are showing a few clips from the game, then explaining why Moranis is not in the game.

Your guess was spot on… but when they covered Rick they used that recent, and incredibly unfair explanation that he "retired because he made a killing from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids."

Regardless of the fact part of his decision to retire involved the death of his wife and wanting to devote time to his family.

I had a feeling he would'nt be in the game. For a moment I believed them when they said that he made a killing with “Honey, I shrunk the kids”, but now that I know the truth it's pretty sad how heartless the media can be.

It was probably someone who wanted to start a rumour or someone who didnt like him who put that lie into the video.
