The developer of an iPhone game targeted for its use of the term “Edge” by extreme-litigant and Edge Games CEO Tim Langdell believes that Langdell’s lawyers “have fled.”
Mobigame head David Papazian told EuroGamer that Langdell “has absolutely no legal grounds” for his trademark infringement claim and that Langdell never actually sued Mobigames for past sales.
The Mobigame in question, Edge, has been republished on the Apple Store, under a slightly new name—Edge by Mobigame.
Electronic Arts filed suit against Langdell and Edge Games over the latter’s trademarks, an event Papazian termed “amazing.”
In a further twist, Papazian also accuses Langdell of infringing on a Graeme Devine (former id Software developer and ex-chairman of the IGDA, now an Apple employee) copyright, for an Edge Game iPhone title called Firebirds. Firebirds is a copyright owned by Devine claims Papazian, who also charges Langdell with stealing art for the game off of Deviant Art.

Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

All it took was EA to flex a little legal muscle.
Langdell took on the wrong company.
Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
Thank god for the all mighty anti troll spray! I wonder if Batman made it?

Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
In that case it would be Bat-Anti Troll Spray.

I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.
Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
no, it would be Troll-Repellent Bat-Spray.

Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
Someone give him Jack Thompsons number! :P

Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
Oh please, if that happened Thomspon would keep trying to come up with reasons for Langdell to sue Take Two.
Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
Escapist reported that Thompson and Langdell met and discussed the possibility of Thompson serving as counsel. I still haven't figured out if it was a joke story a la The Onion or if it was for real. When two crazy people are invovled, I'm not quick to rule out any possibility.
Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
That would be a fantastic crossover! The only result would be: LULZ and FAIL.

Anything to hasten his destiny- to rot in jail.
Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
His lawyers have... fled? WOW. I can't recall having heard of that in quite a while....
Hilarious.
Glad to see the troll getting a foot up his ass. Legally speaking, of course.
Re: Mobigame Chief: Langdell’s Lawyers Have Fled
Sweeeet!
