    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    We're already aware. And it's a pretty much a case without merit. The timeline of development doesn't work out, the stuff that is called out as plagiarism barely qualifies as original idea. It also doesn't help that the game that is allegedly plagiarized itself is plagiarizing stuff (though that might not matter in a case between CBS and him.).

    The worry here is more that the guy that is suing is basically duped by some fanatic Discovery haters that have lost all sense of proportion and realism to pursue this and end up sitting on his legal fees and have nothing to show for it.

    You mean the fictional lawsuit that Cosmos has against Discovery and an independent video game creator for using their Tardigrade idea? I believe that Discovery and that video game creator had the idea for Tardigrade space travel due to a Cosmos episode over the idiotic idea that Discovery happened to use an idea from a video game that 99.9999% of Star Trek fans never heard of until this lawsuit. This lawsuit is good PR for a lousy video game and numerous people only support the lawsuit because they don't like Discovery.

    Yeah this is a case where the PR goes into over drive because the facts don't add up.

    The most recent genuine development was the judge telling Anas Abdin to find proof that ANYONE at CBS had even HEARD of his game prior to writing Discovery. So far he's batted 0. His latest attempt was yet another mass-media campaign combined with trying to subpeona the Steam access history of everyone at CBS...

    IE: the core premise of his case was not verifiable as fact before he started litigation. He literally filed a case without proof.

    Really... getting... tired... of this insanity. The evidence speaks for itself. Case is baseless. Just frickin' let it go already. In the end its probably going to hurt Abdin more due to discovering that he ripped stuff from Dune and maybe Stargate.

    CBS is not picking on the little guy. Abdin has a weak case against CBS. Also, there are already a lot of threads about this subject why not post in those instead of creating another. Sheesh. Thanks. :)

    I don't think you could have used an image which more perfectly captures my thoughts on this absurdity.

    Pretty much any scientist who discovered some unknown/odd looking insect/fish could have sued Star Trek for 'stealing idea's' (as we did not have much to go on in the 60's... or even the 80's...Antedean-Fleetwood.png

    But most people have better things to do than sue over an idea involving an enlarged Tardigrade, discovered in the 1700's.

    Right, becuase we DARE disagree with you.

    The case is paper thin, the lawsuit is B.S. this thread is Spam. Just because we recognize bull TRIBBLE when we see it doesn't mean we're 'siding with the big corporation.'

    Get over yourself.

    Why post a video from Nerdrotic, he picks up on anything that allows him to spread his hatred of Discovery to all his subbers who regularly lap it up and spread it around, he's got more in common with a virus than a Star Trek fan. That guy is like a eunuch's mammaries

    All those butt hurt Discovery haters have to stick together.

    No one else is going to listen to their garbage.

    Too right, can't get through a single one of his videos all the way because of all the negativity and effin' an' jeffin', it's social media that has a lion's share of the blame for that
  • westx211westx211 Member Posts: 42,206 Arc User
    THis hasn't really been "debunked" and there is fair evidence for an against the case. Personally I side with CBS having stolen the idea. There's no need to start claiming "spam" because someone is making another thread you don't like.

    Also, even the judge told CBS to put "put up, or shut up". And I see the Taridgrade game.....Anas is in the right, he made the stuff FIRST. Also, funny how folks accuse Discovery haters being desperate....YET the Disco folks seem to have NO problem giving VERY negative, very toxic words to Anas...such as saying they are HAPPY his father died.

    *slow sarcastic clap*

    Interesting

    If CBS was actually confident that they didn't steal the blue tardigrade, then they would have kept it blue.

    BINGO!

    So far, a lot of the pro disco folks are sending hate mail to Anas.....including they are HAPPY his father died.

    I'm not telling the Disco folks, or the fans to die or happy their sick parents died.



    So.......you want to be a pot or a kettle?

    First of all, that has nothing to do with the topic.

    Second, that is a shameful minority of the fan base that would partake in actions like that. Trying to use that as a reflection on the majority is a shameful practice that should be beneath you.
    I'm not telling the Disco folks, or the fans to die or happy their sick parents died.

    No one accused you of such. The only person that even brought this up is you.


    So.......you want to be a pot or a kettle?

    I'm neither. And if you're trying to accuse me of these type of shameful practices then frankly, you can go TRIBBLE yourself.

    Also, other than Ryan now calling in the mods, (Really?) Because the forums still lack a proper search engine like they had before the move to vanilla, sometimes older threads fall through the cracks. Considering this is a relatively popular topic and new information occasionally pops up surrounding it it makes sense why a new thread would be posted. Pluse I don't think the last one has gotten a response in a few weeks? Maybe a month?

    Also Sea of Sorrows. Cool it down a bit. The only one acting butthurt is you, Bailey and the rest of the people have been completely civil here, no need to start telling people to go tribble themselves because honestly, you're only proving her point by acting like that.

    I don't think the mods should close this down, but maybe put out a warning to keep it civil.

    First of all, I am backing CBS not because I love big corporations but because Abdin's case has no legal merit. Also, you do not know what is in my heart. It is your bias against corporations, who you probably think are evil, that is why you are having a problem. Also, I do not agree with threats against family members or death threats, period. Whether they like Star Trek: Discovery or they do not like Star Trek: Discovery. Thanks. :)
