EA Gets Tough With Edge Games

Hahahahahahahaa! EA are becoming the good guys! Wow, that's... Awesome. Maybe next they'll sell off the yearly sports franchises and use the frankly silly ammounts of cash they'd get on original games.
Of course, there's about an equal chance of Activision games being made for fun any more...

What? EA actually doing something...good?! THE ENTIRE FABRIC OF TIME AND SPACE WILL BE RIPPED TO SHREADS!!! AHH! IT'S HAPPENING NOW.

No, wait, it's just rain. False alarm.

Good. That psycho loony shithead Langdell deserves to take it in the ass by EA.
*Flips middle finger* Fuck you to hell Tim Langdell!

No Langdell...EA has more than enough money to take care of this...judging by their statements made earlier in this article, this is a PR stunt.Malygris said:
One that will probably bode well for the publisher considering how much angst Langdell has garnered.
Seriously? What does he have a PHD in? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_professional_degree#Professional_degrees]Malygris said:
The villain in Modern Warfare 3 should be named "Hedge"...but with the "H" silent as they are in some countries. (I think that is a loophole...)fix-the-spade said:
Unfortunately, the idea that Edge Games will loose their basic trademark is in question. I just looked at their site and Langdell has taken some steps to make it look like Edge is actually developing games. Of course, I'm not sure games developed for the 360 or PS3 are all that easy to port to the iPhone as the list suggests. . . but I'm not a programmer. I could be wrong.
Racers for Wii, PS3, 360 and PC
Mythora 2 ("5 years in the making") - DS, iPhone, PSP, PS3, 360, Wii
Teenage Wasteland - PC, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, iPhone
And the infamous Mirrors - PC, 360, PS3, Wii, PSP, DS, iPhone.
Considering I've been to this web site like 2 weeks ago and just noted the change today, I think it is safe to say that Mr. Langdell is very much aware of what he needs to prove at this patent hearing.

What are Edge claiming "Mirrors" to be, anyway? There's nada about it on their website, and clicking "pre-order" pops up an email to "express interest".
Also, RACERS, a game they're claiming to have released recently, doesn't seem to have any reviews attached to it at all.
This is intriguing too: http://chaosedge.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/the-myth-behind-mythora/

Actually that information has been there a while. When Shamus posted about Tim's efforts to sue Mobigames I noticed all of that. All their software appears to just be vaporware. There are no real screenshots or video demos available for any of the games they have mentioned. The bit with "Mirrors" has been there for months as well.Jhereg42 said:
When the dust settles EA will be back on the douche list don't you worry.internutt said:
The whole Edge thing kind of passed me by, I'd not played any games with Edge in recently, all I could think of when seeing this discussion was whether they'd sued pizza hut and U2 as well. both have The Edge in them, but I doubt they give any sort of money for the "copyright" of the word.
Its not just that they are getting rid of a patent troll a guy who managed to patent the word EDGE 20 years ago and hasn't done anything with it for decades. EA are suing him because he isn't using the name to make games, he's using it to STOP people making games.bonnero said:
Also, picking up Brutal Legend when they were dropped by Activision, then being sued by Activision was pretty sweet. Activision didn't want the game so were stupid to try and sue EA for picking it up in the first place. They've been pretty good in general recently.
Sorry, my writing is pretty poor tonight. Hopefully you get what I'm on about.
So now EA is officialy amazing and Activison is pure evil, i think the world is litteraly turning upside down. But Tim deserves it just for being a prick, now lets sue the pants off of him.
I must have followed a strange link, then. Last time I looked at it was not that long ago, and while it mentioned Mirrors the site was set up differently and didn't have a nice flash opening at the beginning. Either way, I suspect most of it is vaporware as you said. I was just noting that is he can prove he is working on something his trademark on his company name will likely remain valid.Monshroud said:
