Mythora Myths: ChaosEdge goes hands on with a Langdell/Edge game

mythoraorder.jpg

The on-going Langdell/Edge Games/Mobigame/IGDA story is one I haven't been keeping up with here as much lately, if only because doing so is a full-time job in itself.

Luckily, the ChaosEdge blog has taken up the task, most recently with their first hands on with Mythora, the game recently offered for sale via Edge Games' website as proof of its legitimate ongoing publishing operations.

You'd think simply receiving the game might have put some of the suspicious issues to rest, but instead, the Mythora post sprawls on and ruthlessly punctures even more holes in Langdell's rapidly deflating narrative, arriving, as it does, on an off-the-shelf Memorex CDR, with installer/auto-run files created about a week ago, despite being "published" in 2004.

What I don't get is why EDGE Games and Edge Magazine have the same logo.

This whole sorry story has been fascinating.

Hygraed, it appears that Langdell's Edge managed to extract a settlement from Future publishing. Langdell's subsequent use of Edge Magazine's logo would then presumably be to reinforce the appearance of "his" Edge being prior art, as it were. Or perhaps just to give the appearance of an association that does not in fact exist.
