A new AddictingGames.com original game, Flame Puppy, has amazingly high production value for a free flash online game.
OK. We get it. It's a NEW game.
According to Gamestop.com, the computer communications company Paltalk is suing Blizzard, Sony, Activision, NCsoft and Turbine over a patent violation. The patent includes "technology for ways to control interactive applications over multiple computers." Earlier on this year Paltalk sued American computing juggernaut Microsoft and recieved an undisclosed settlement out of court, so it looks like they have a pretty strong case.
Now that you have the facts, let me ruin a perfectly good news report with slanted opinion (it's the American way!). Effectively, these companies are in big trouble for helping you talk to your guild. Can you imagine them making these games WITHOUT said technologies?
Now I don't want to condemn anyone without knowing all the legal jargon and "facts", because, let's face it, all of those companies have high priced lawyers that should've caught this. Either they need to be fired for incompetance or this really was a case of the big guy trying to screw the little guy.
My love for WoW has come face to face with my admiration for small bussiness and indie developers. All in all, I think I gotta take the "David's" side over the "Goliath's". Thankfully, my opinion doesn't matter in a court of law.
What's your take on the situation?
While most game series wait a year or more to release a sequel, Rockband released one almost instantly in order to interrupt The Beatles at the height of their excitement. Much as Kanye West did to poor Taylor Swift at this year's VMAs. This game is sure to be a hit... or at least Kanye thinks it will, since he's in it, and he loves himself.
Rockband: Kanye West, in stores instantly, find it in the feminine care aisle, with all the other douches.
