EDGE returns triumphant to App Store News
iPhone News by Robert Purchese
Mobigame's EDGE has returned to the App Store after a long and well documented legal battle with Tim Langdell.
There's no explanation given on the product page, just the £2.99 asking price and a description of the game. There's a Lite version too, should you wish to try before you buy.
Maybe EA's petition to have Langdell's EDGE trademark abolished was successful.
Also on the App Store, from Friday, will be Charles Cecils' iPhone adaptation of point-and-click adventure Beneath A Steel Sky. This will cost £2.99 and pack numerous extras, as our keen coverage has pointed out.

Here's hoping common sense will "Edge" Langdell out of the industry altogether!

About time! I just wish that Langdell will be forced to compensate them for lost earnings.

Ding dong the witch is dead!
I've had the demo for ages, loved it and glad I'll finally get the chance to play it in it's entirety. |

You know if you'd emailed them like I did you'd have had a far more fact-based news story to post here. Mr Papazian replied to me within the hour, explaining that:
- they hadn't buckled to Langdell - there would be an official press release soon - the apparent name change from 'Edge' to 'Edge by Mobigame' was deliberate - Apple agree there is no legal risk for them in the US now - recent events (EA) had helped convince Apple and they hope it will last Here to help.

I hope you contacted Langdell to agreed the use of Edge in that comment - I wouldn't want him sending EG a cease-and-desist request... |

For those of you that already own Edge, you'll notice an update for it if you visit the App Store on your iPhone. Check the details on the 'update' and you'll see that it simply lists 'bug fixed' - nothing else, no more detail. A subtle prod at Langdell, I suspect...

Wow check out all of those negative scores.
I said it would amuse me, not that I wanted them to pay him. It would amuse me because they are getting all of this kudos for 'sticking it' to 'the man', yet they didn't make any kind of official announcement as to how. As vocal as they have been in the press it is a little curious as to why they didnt shout from the rooftops that EDGE is back up. |

I should add that it was on the Irish app store. It looks like it was never pulled from there.

Well not Rob Purchese, obviously.
Sigh. I only meant this story to be a heads-up that the game was back on the store. - they hadn't buckled to Langdell - there would be an official press release soon - the apparent name change from 'Edge' to 'Edge by Mobigame' was deliberate - Apple agree there is no legal risk for them in the US now - recent events (EA) had helped convince Apple and they hope it will last Cool. I'll see what that press release says. Oh by the way, BASS is out now. Good news. Press release was wrong then. Admittedly I should have checked, but was busy and didn't see the need. Well done for spotting it. Worst. News story. Ever. That's informed a lot of people that EDGE and BASS are on the App Store to buy. You should start your own blog. |
