Infinium Labs has thrown in the towel!


Recommended Posts

The long going battle between Infinium Labs, the so-called makers of the Phantom Console and KB Networks(Kyle Bennett) and [H]ard|OCP is over.

Infinium Labs has filed two motions with the U.S. District Court that essentially relents to all of KB Networks claims. Word for word, the "Prayer for Relief" in the Amended Declaratory Judgment Complaint filed by Infinium Labs states:

A) Declaring that Plaintiffs' have no liability to the Defendants under any state or federal statute or common law as a result of the publication of the Article;

B) Declaring that Plaintiffs' use of Infinium's trademarks during the period from September 7, 2003, through February 19, 2004, in connection with the Article did not constitute dilution or infrigement of those marks or otherwise give rise to liability under any state or federal statute under common law;

C) Providing Plaintiffs with an award of costs, excluding attorneys fees; and

D) Grating (sic) Defednants such other and further relief, at law or in equity, to which they may be justly entitled.

If I am understanding this correctly, and also trying my best to remember the whole deal from a couple of months back, HardOCP released some stuff about Infinium Labs, mainly about their past history if I recall correctly, that Infinium did not like being released and they tried to sue them or something like that.

Basically what this means is HardOCp has won the case and they are not liable for what they released and/or said about Infiinium or anything like that.

When I saw the threads title, I thought it was what i believe eventually will be the inevitable news that they are finally going to give up on the Phantom console, but it does not look that way.

Same here, I was expecting something else.

Hardly good news unless you are an Hardocp member. :pinch:

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
