The Next Online Conspiracy Game: Lockjaw
from the take-a-little-Majestic,-mix-in-some-A.I... dept
A bunch of volunteers who got hooked on the online game associated with the movie AI are creating their own online based conspiracy game called Lockjaw. It sounds like a mixture of the AI game and EA's game Majestic. The main difference between Lockjaw and Majestic is that Lockjaw is supposed to be collaborative. They're expecting people to work together and build communities to complete the game. The team has been working on it in secrecy, but the all volunteer nature has apparently created a few problems with people who didn't agree with the "direction" the game was taking - and they haven't discussed any issues about who owns the rights to what. Maybe it's time to come up with a GPL (or something similar) for online games...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
