 Yahoo! sues Xfire

Loveable Xfire (which is rather nifty these days) and its makers are facing legal action from the perps at Yahoo! |
| QUOTE | |
| In the case of the '125 patent, Gottlieb and Kirmse were employed by Yahoo! when they developed certain technologies for a game-specific variation on Yahoo!'s popular Yahoo! Messenger. Yahoo! has been the sole assignee--or owner--of the '125 patent since it was granted. The complaint describes the Yahoo! Messenger instant message service--in this case, the GameProwler instant messenger application--as one that "allows users to use a game server in connection with a messenger server to permit 'buddies' to know when other 'buddies' are playing games online, and easily join such games." Xfire offers a client application that allows gamers to chat with other gamers online. It also serves to help quickly facilitate gameplay on remote servers. "Like the Yahoo! invention," the Yahoo! complaint reads, "this capability allows a user to see other users identified as 'friends' or 'buddies' designated on the user's computer in an instant messenger window. Also, like the Yahoo! invention, this product allows a user to see if a 'friend' or 'buddy' is online with her instant messenger program activated and also to see whether that 'friend' or 'buddy' is playing a game online... "Defendant has no license or permission from Yahoo! to offer this capability." The Xfire client was first made available in beta form last year. Xfire recently promoted the fact that it had reached the 1-million-registered-user threshold. |

The article also mentions that this may be the first step in Yahoo! actually buying out the makers of Xfire - so there you go...

A squad based first person shooter set in the Star Wars universe, in the demo mission you and your squad are sent to the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk to aid the native giants with a new enemy that is invading their home and threatening their very freedom. At the climax of the legendary Clone Wars, one squad is all the Republic has to prevent the hostile takeover of one of the most critical planets in the galaxy. See some pretty pictures from the game here Download it from Worthplaying, Fileplanet and 3D Gamers - and probably Gamers Hell - although the site is down at this moment in time. |
