Seriously?
By the Nine...
I'm not sure if it's still the case, but when Edge "announced" their game called Mirrors, the logo was set up like thisad4m101 said:wait so edge is suing because they used the word edge..even in mirrors edge.....wow. i dont even see how its possible to trademark a single word like that.
after a quick look on edges website, there bringing out a game called mirrors lol
Well, I'll give them this: I certainly am amazed. Perhaps not in the way they want me to be, but I really am amazed at the lengths Langdell will go to for free money. I'll be even more amazed if the US Court lets him get away with it.Altheus_Necron said:I'm not sure if it's still the case, but when Edge "announced" their game called Mirrors, the logo was set up like this
I believe this is why Edge feels they can go against EA and DICE.
That's pretty much what I thought. Its EA for christs sake, just how big of a douche do you have to be in order to make them look like the good guys?mrverbal said:PS, Tim: Any time someone is suggesting in a fight of you VS EA games that EA are the good guys, it isn't because they are the good guys, it is because you are a fuckwad of outrageous proportions. It's like if you had a fight between Mr Burns and the emperor; Mr Burns is 'the good guy' only on the grounds that he is just sort of generically evil, not a genocidal super villian.
For a slightly more anti-Langdell view, Here's EA's filing of suit [http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92051465&pty=CAN&eno=16], including all those juicy accusations of fraud committed by Langdell in order to perpetuate trademarks for products which may not, in fact, have existed.Andy Chalk said:Anyone interested in a detailed (if strongly anti-Langdell) look at the history of Edge Games should check out ChaosEdge:

There's a lot to sift through but it's very informative.
Clearly they must both be the same person. Kotick realized he wasn't reaching his monthly douchebag quota, so he adopted the persona of Tim Langdell so people won't burn down Activision. And on a completely unrelated note, I now feel compelled to go play Driver...scnj said:Bag of cocks. I dunno who is worse, Langdell or Kotick.
At least the people who wrote happy birthday people made the song, even if it isnt a complex song they made it. This is just stupid Theres no way that they should get away with this. They should be be fined for trying to take advantage of the law or something.chronobreak said:Can I trademark "The" Games, and file a lawsuit for every game with "The" in the title? These guys are as bad as the happy birthday people who wouldn't let the song be sung on television. I'm glad we don't have Edge Games around here, just good old reputable controversy-free Gamestop.
For Tim Langdell you should add "Resigned from Independent Game Developers Association in Disgrace" since that was the big deal with him originally.heyheysg said:Enemies of videogames
