Edge by Mobigame Again Pulled from App Store

[Archemetis]

i'm currently working on Copyrighting the letter "E" in upper and lowercase.
I will expect royalties whenever people use this letter, and automatic removal of any properties that are using the letter.

This will include literature, games and spoken word.

I do no find this claim ridiculous in the slightest.

Seriously a person or company cannot copyright a fucking WORD. (I'm undoubtedly wrong about this)

Even if they can, they shouldn't...
If the anyone with any sense looked into this (like the majority of people in this forum) theyed agree that Mobigames is using the word Edge for it's intended purpose. the NAME of a game of which the premise is to tip a block over the EDGE of things...

Edge Studios however have used the name because (I'm willing to bet) "It sounded good" and have no copyighted the name...

I'd understand if they were fighting against another Edge Studios...

But they're not...
I mean how many other games have the word Edge in it? Seriously...

Better be careful, Escapist. You've put down the word "Edge" on your site. Get ready to be sued!

Okay, let me use a analogy here.
I go out and make a game called "Steam Valve", a puzzle game about fixing steam pipe leaks. Now, is Valve going to sue me? Most probably not. Why? because first of all they would really have a case, unless I used a very close replica of either the VALVe or Steam logos.
Hmm I seem to remember an EDGE game called MIRRORS whose title looked rather like that of Mirror's Edge. Hmmm...

You know what's kind of relaxing? One day or another, this ************ will eventually die. And I'm praying to God that it's a very slow and painful death.

Fuck you to hell, Tim Langdell!

Interestingly, this "Racers" game looks really nice. Of course, one should try a demo, to make sure it's actually that pretty.
I'm curious, if Edge games are capable of creating an actually good game. Just a single one.

Think about the lawyers who took this case, I don't know but this proves lawyers are also jackasses.

I wonder if you can find Ipod in the dictionary

They're copyright lawyers... this is probably just business as usual for them.

When will you humans lean that your "feelings" are nothing compared to big cash settlements.

The best thing people can do- better than posting comments here- is buy the freakin' game! Don't buy it to send a big F.U. to Tim Langdell, buy it because IT'S AWESOME!

Post your Mobigame login when commenting to verify your support of Mobigame (as well as sending the waste-of-space that is Tim Langdell a hearty flip-of-the-bird).

FWIW I'm "salsaman" and currently rank 45th. Bring it...

(Then, uh, explain to me how people are finishing levels so quickly!! For instance, "1st contact" in under ten seconds?! I can barely get under 16... I'm using on-screen buttons btw, which seems to be the fastest, most precise control method...)

iPod by Sony?! What the fuck?! iPod is not a real word you dumb fuck! Edge, on the other hand, IS! I really, sincerely hope you'll go to the special circle of hell reserved for trolls, Tim Langdell.

You know what? We should copyright 'The.' Just think of the profits!

Thats right, now pay up! you said just think of the profits.

Thats the same as saying: just think of XBOX360 profits.

I am sooo suing you.

*ah hem* I'm afraid I copyrighted it first. And since you just said it, well... I guess I'll see you in court.

 

[SilentHunter7]

Oh. My. God.

It's like the nightmare that never ends.

 

[SilentHunter7]

...

You realise you just responded to a year old post, right?

How do you do that, precisely?

Wow. I have no idea. I'm going to go lay down now. It seems I need a break from the internet.

 

[BabyRaptor]

So he's basically going around suing anyone who uses the word "Edge" in their game title because it's the name of his company? Wow...Ego much?!
