Fuckin' A.

Great news! Two stories back to back about gaming-oriented antagonists. Now if we could get an article about Kotick falling face first into some shit then my day would be made.
Great news, I'm glad to hear he got what was coming to him.
However I am very concerned about Edge Of Twilight. Not because of this moron, although this story did remind me about it. It's been so long since we've heard anything about the game and there were rumours that it was cancelled. I really hope not, I thought it looked incredibly promising.

I love this. I have a whole new respect for EA, mostly because of the way they stuck up for Mobigame, a small 2 man studio from France who made the incredibly addictive EDGE for the iPhone. If I remember they payed some of Mobigames legal fee's and counter-sued Langdell after he tried to sue them for Mirror's Edge. I could be wrong about the legal fee's though. Still, EA are awesome.
Great news. And all the better if he faces further action for being a little shit.
And lol @zen17h :D

@Zen17h; Lol
But yeah, great news. Langdell had this coming sooner or later, and it's such a shame it's taken this long. I suppose all we can hope for is EDGE Magazine, Mobigames and EA (Possibly others?) to join forces and just take him down.

The videogame industry should declare this a holiday along with the day Jack Thompson was disbarred.
About frickin time someone put a stop to this retard's antics. You can't patent a word moron! Especially if you haven't had anything associated with it in over 15 years!
All the links related to this article seem to include the 'trolling' quote.
So I guess 'trolling' is a legal term now, and something you can get sued for. Best start using proxies from now on I guess.

Interestingly, he managed to get Future Publishing to "license" the term for the electronic version of their Edge magazine. What a cock.
Hint: They don't mean internet trolling.
They're more referring to the old fable of the troll living under a bridge who would declare a fee to be paid in order to be allowed passage across the bridge. The troll had nothing to do with the bridge, apart from merely claiming something to be his that was, actually, belonging to everyone and thus nobody at all.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Haha thats awesome! Especially if the courts used the term "trolling", what a great day to catch up on some news!
@Zen17h - lulz all over everything!!! That was brilliant!!

Any sympathy he could have had from me—it wouldn't have been much, to be sure—disappeared after reading the REASON his behavior could warrant criminal charges: the forging of evidence. That's JAIL.
Patent and trademark trolling is one thing. Manufacturing evidence to support your trademark is something entirely different.
@Lenigod: the point being he has all these titles he says are being sold, but have you ever seen them in any retail outlets?

Yessss! There is some justice in the world.
Thanks go to EA for actually taking this one on. Obviously they did it mostly for themselves, but this helps a lot of other folks too.

And lo, the great troll was struck down, and he smote his ruin upon the mountainside. And EA, and Activision, and Mobigame, and all the free people of the world, good and evil, did rejoice and make merry for a week and a day. And they all lived happily forevermore. The end.
With this and the news about the Star paying out for libel, it seems like there may actually be some justice in the universe.
I don't understand this ruling. If you wanna get into that boy's hole, you gotta pay the troll toll. You gotta pay the toll troll to get in.
I don't really understand what he patented in the first place. Not the word 'edge', surely? You can't patent something that's not new. *confusion*
@Omicron1- And lo, the minor troll was struck down, and he smote his ruin upon the mountainside which was EA. And Activision, and Mobigame, and all the free people of the world, good and evil, did rejoice and make merry for a week and a day. And they all lived happily until the next artard comes along.. The end.
