zomboid Posted June 18, 2009 Interesting article about Mobigames (and a long list of others) -vs- Tim Langdell/EDGE Games. http://tigsource.com/articles/2009/06/09/tim-langdell-and-edge-part-two And because he probably googles himself on a regular basis, I'd like to offer this little morsel up: Tim Langdell is a fucking parasite. Eat a bowl of bloody shit you worthless, talentless troll. And further... HERE is a petition if you feel so inclined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted June 18, 2009 I read Derek Yu's thorough editorial on TIG Source last week, regarding Langdell's bottom-feeding approach to business. Very interesting and definitely worth a nose if you have even the remotest interest in branding and trade mark "infringement" (read: feckless, lazy money-spinning). Any news articles on how/why Mobigames saw fit to (presumably) ignore The Langdell's punitive legal threats and put Edge back on the iTunes App Store?

Noyb Posted June 18, 2009 I'm actually making a short game based on this. Like a tycoon game, except you have no product except single-word trademarks, and no source of income besides frivolous lawsuits. It should be out this weekend. PM me if you want to help test it before then. http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6619.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted June 18, 2009 I read the TIG source piece on him too. I find it pretty disgusting that he managed to get onto the IGDA board. They're not doing so well this year between him, Michael Capps on quality of life, and Jason Della Rocca leaving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted June 25, 2009 Making a mental note to try this either tonight or at the weekend. Regardles, congratulations on all the congratulations, Noyb. Seems to have gone down particularly well on the TIG Source forums, so well done. I also think this sort of creation is particularly important in keeping video games "honest" and culturally relevant. So nice work on that front, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted July 6, 2009 First, EDGE is apparently back on the iPhone store. My mp3 player doesn't even play video, so I haven't had a chance to try it. Second, glad y'all enjoyed my game! Edge Tycoon got 2nd place in the Edge games competition. Short a mere three votes for first. I had too much integrity (completely forgot) to beg friends and forum-mates for votes. Whoops. Nearly all of the games are short/good enough to be worth checking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted July 12, 2009 So, apparently now Tim Langdells company has filed a trademark for Edge of Twilight (on June 1, 2009!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vimes Posted July 14, 2009 It's fun but not so much : there's now a small part of our brains dedicated to Langdell but I, for one, can't remember for more that 5 minutes who are Johannes Söderqvist, Soren Johnson or Andrew Chrysafidis. It's unfair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted July 16, 2009 Edge has been pulled again, without Mobigame's knowledge, from all iTunes regions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted July 16, 2009 This should be talked about more widely, IMO. I spoke to a TIGA board member this week who hadn't heard about this, or the Mike Capps thing. Pretty important news that an organisation that campaigns for developers rights has people on the board who seem to be contradicting the org's causes.

Nachimir Posted July 17, 2009 Oh, him contradicting the quality of life campaigning of the IGDA by supporting 60+ hour working weeks, and then talking about how good Epic are because they make people go home to sleep if they're still in the office at 2a.m. Also, allegedly, saying that they like to hire people who are having marital difficulties because they know they'll want to spend more time at the office. Saw a few people referring to that, but can't find it in print right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted July 17, 2009 Oh that, I think most of that was blown out of proportions. But the part about hiring people who are having marital difficulties is completely new to me, and actually sounds quite ridiculous to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted July 17, 2009 Maybe so, but people are still very pissed off with the IGDA over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
