Game Developers Get Edgy With Edge - UPDATED

[pigeon_of_doom]

Fantastic. Utterly fantastic. About time game devs grew some balls over the matter, this concerted effort is a great idea.

I still find it disgraceful that a word, a single word of the English language has been appropriated by a private company, so anything ridiculing it and shaming those enforcing it is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

It's humorous, ballsy, and just right.

You mean that the humour is edgy?


OT: I'd like to see some other devs get in ot the Langdell humiliation party. We could have Valve with "Left 4 Dedge 2" and "Half Life: Edgesode 3", Bioware can develop "Dragon Edge: Origins" and "Mass Edgefect 2", Bethesda could release new DLC for "Fallout 3" called "Fallout 3: On the Edge of the Wasteland" and "The Edger Scrolls V", and Epic can make "Gears of Wedge 3" and "Unredge Tournament IV".

This. If anyone hasn't posted yet.

Either Tim Langdell's head is going to explode with the sheer amount of trademarks he's going to try to get that he'll go broke. Or he will just somehow create a paradox by owning a single word in the English language that he ceases to exist......and also the word Edge does too.....

This is too amazingly awesome to be a real thing. It sounds like the sort of prank I'd pull on someone, but on a much more awesome scale.

 

[The Sorrow]

This sure edges out any other protest I've seen.

 

[Avatar Roku]

I wonder if the guy has tried suing U2's The Edge?

No, silly. He's not going to sue someone who can fight back!

(ignoring EA, of course, most companies he antagonized were small, indie Iphone devs.)

 

[father_peril]

May this movement wEDGE the knowlEDGE that these unflEDGEd developers do not deserve the slEDGEhammer of justice to drEDGE them. May Tim Langdell acknowlEDGE that he does not have a lEDGE to stand on. His claims make as much sense as a hEDGEhog EDGEwise on a featherEDGE.


(I'd like to thank Google.)

Didn't Spike Lee try to pull something like this off aswell?

a quick google and...

Yes he did. He tried to sue SpikeTV, because it had Spike in it. He failed.

Good luck Mr.. wait who are you again? Has this Edge company made anything worthwhile? I guess he's just trying to increase his presence in the media with this.

Langdell's about to topple... over the edge.

Best news ever. More people need to do this, just to show how much the world hates him.

 

[UltimatheChosen]

I salute these men and women for being the most awesome people ever.

 

[Jumplion]

Now this is what I call a balsy move.

Hurray for developers having a pair!

 

[lacktheknack]

Did he make a big fuss about Mirror's Edge?

Maybe we can REALLY tick him off with "The Edge of the Mirror's Edge: On the Edge of the City's Edge".

Hey, I'd play.

Indeed. I've been holding back. I've had so many edge-related puns on the edge of my tongue, it's been pushing me to the proverbial edge. I am on the edge of insanity, as well as the edge of my seat, just waiting for a w-edge of opportunity to release the edg-iness of my mastery of the word "edge!"

*cue radio voice* I also agree with the part of your statement that isn't a pun.*end radio voice*

OT: It's good seeing that the developer's are getting ticked at him now. Hopefully, he'll stop this soon.

[In Limbo]

Edgescapist Magazine, anyone? Though there may be a landscape gardening monthly with that title already.

 

[DigitalSushi]

I could just imagine some of the bigger companies jumping on this one.

Borderedge
Edge 4 Dead (and you know this kinda thing is up Valve's alley =P)
Edge Fortress 2
Edge Life 2: Episode 3
Dragon Edge: Origins
World of Edgecraft
Edge Theft Auto

Brutal Ledgend!

Or even older titles like The Incredgeible Machine
