I hope this is the right forum for this, but we have to make this noticeable:

Beware young developers in search of a job, Tim Langdell is trying to recruit you!

The thing is, as anyone who followed other threads about Edge Games and Tim Langdell knows, Langdell is in a desperate attempt to show the USPTO that his company is active so he doesn't lose his bullshit trademarks (obtained fraudulently), that he used to bully indies/steal from them, and being an all around nuisance. It's very important that no one replies to his ads, nor tries to get work from him. Please warn people you know who don't know about him.

THE GUY HAS A 25 YEARS HISTORY OF SCREWING/NOT PAYING DEVS.

EDGE GAMES IS A ONE MAN OPERATION, NOT A TRUE PUBLISHER/DEVELOPER.

Most of the recent history of Edge Games/Tim Langdell has been archived here:

People around here should probably already be pretty knowledgeful. You should totally post it on other places, especially other forums and websites that have a great percentage of budding developers, and the sites where those ads are.

Never have I hated a bearded face, but on this day.. I shall hate.

Could be worth it to take up an internship there just to see the ship sink for yourself. You could start up a blog and record your experiences, as bulwarks split and the ocean pools around your ankles

that or you could utterly undermine the man and his efforts from the inside like some kind of mole

Best idea so far. ^^

but if you work for him you are a statistic for him to shoot out to USPTO. nothing can change that so the best you can do is... not answer his ads.

yeah its a great idea but not in this one of all cases.

Edit: Also be sure to flag the hell out of those craigslist ads.
