Tyler, your next game needs to be "Get Tom Buscaglia To Dance For You" and after completing a simple dialogue tree with a pixelated Tom, show that animation as the reward.

I do not think that indie developers need Tom Buscaglia as much as he thinks they do. And you don't know the half of it. I had the privilege of being showed some of the e-mails he sent to Mobigame when David Papazian was crying for help to the IGDA and they assigned Tom Buscaglia to the case or whatever... Yeah the least you could say is that indies "don't need" him. |

I like how they're now able to write back to Apple with all these counter-points. It seems the spreading of the Tim Langdell story is finally getting the better of him. He can no longer threaten an unsuspecting developer as the cat's out of the bag now.  |

Allow me to doubt Apple's non-dickyness in that case. I'm pretty sure there's still a high risk of them simply tossing any kind of responsibility on their part. They played a big role in the removal of Edge, and I'm also thinking of Indestructotank and SteoneLoops!...
I still it would be interesting to make that experiment of putting a bogus game on sale on the Appstore and then create a fake complaint of copyright infringement by a bullshit company, and see what happens.

Oh, definitely, Apple's politics are still very much a problem. I just like that developers can now actually counter-point Langdell's claims instead of having to pull down their game in fear.

Apple will avoid legal action like the plague. They're like that guy that's deathly afraid of germs and have to keep everything organized exactly in the way he wants until it cripples his very mind.

Maybe he's actually trying to get into honest business?
...
Naaaah. He's got reputation to uphold.

That he would go to craiglist instead of focusing on game development communities says a lot.
Or does craiglist have a large game development community that I don't know of?

Well he did try the game developer's group on LinkedIn, as you'll recall. After that blew up in his face this isn't surprising. |

Exactly. Does anyone think there's real danger of him getting some poor soul under his rotten wings?

http://www.australiangamer.com/opinion/2372_tim_langdell_-_on_the_edge_of_law_and_ethics.htmlAustralian Gamer article. This information is old and I don't think 100% accurate. For instance, Langdell filed an TM application for EDGY, he didn't get it right a way. (Getting a TM takes almost a year, trust me) And he's since abandoned the application. Also Mirror's Edge and EDGE are two of the things he hasn't been able to claim to have "spawned". But the cool part is one of his citations is a post from Raitendo in this very thread!
