I live 5 mins away from Turbine.....nice
It's America's stupid Patent office that has caused this, and I think that the company that put the patent in can just go and fuck themselves because they are trying to make money to keep their bussiness alive by suing game developers.
Infact, the people that are doing this should stop now and go home to their mommas.
Actually, the patent appears to be specific to a certain way of handling network data in games that need to update thousands of clients simultaneously over the Internet.
Nothing new there, companies often patent their "special" coding practices.

You can't Patent something so Generic. That's just plain wrong.
This is dumb.
I think most people in this thread are getting angry not because of what is happening. But the fact they wouldn't ever be able to come up with a idea like this and have it actually go though.
[QUOTE=Latias;17357421]You saying you don't want MW2[/QUOTE]
I prefered WW2 games.
This is why the patents and copyright system should be reformed, it just doesn't hold up to todays technologies.
[QUOTE=Jimbojib;17357327]I don't really know what to say about this, don't care about runsecape. It can die for all I care but the others I'm not so sure.[/QUOTE]
Do you support dumbass people holding patents as hostage for the sake of lawsuit more than you support runescape?
[QUOTE=veribigbos1;17357334]Lol, so everyone has gone around using Paltalk's system, making MMORPG's with it and now Paltalk strikes back? Awesome :v:

Though I'm wondering why they didn't sue Valve...[/QUOTE]
Valve has not made any MMO's

They're getting angry because a company is suing other companies purely for the money. If they wanted to preserve their rights they would've sued way earlier, but now they're just milking the fact that they patented something awfully obscure.
What fucking cunts to do that.
Yes its smart to sue companies that have more lawyers then programmers.
:downs:
I wonder if this is the same court which did that Microsoft Word thing.
[QUOTE={FP}ST;17357612]I hope they win against Jagex and Blizzard.
All the others are fine.[/QUOTE]
I herp they derp against herp derp. :downs:
This calls for every major MMO company to team up (in lawyers) and take down Paltalk Holdings Inc.
Hahaha. I like how they didn't sue CCP. :smug:
[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;17359283]Hahaha. I like how they didn't sue CCP. :smug:[/QUOTE]
CCP makes quality games.
Well mainly because EVE was copyrighted before this.
Suing NCSoft? Fuck those faggots.
NCSoft is awesome.

Hell, these guys won't be able to stand up to just A-B's lawyers, let alone all the others.

Well they did beat microsoft which may be one of the factors as to why they're pushing it.

They be pushing themselves off a building.
I hope they win all the cases but one, then the last one wins and all the previous cases go to appeals and they all win there too because of the one winning.
Then the assholes go bankrupt.

You are going to be a very rich man.
What? Will there be no such thing as a multiplayer game that DOESN'T use their apparent system?
