Infinium Labs Threatens Gaming News Site

Posted by michael on from the talk-is-cheap dept.

Over the past year or two, Slashdot has run a number of stories about Infinium Labs and their Phantom Game Console (that phrase still makes me smile, every time). I think we've been generous to them, taking their game console talk at more or less face value, despite the vaporous nature of the product. Now they've decided that threats are a better plan for improving their image than producing a real product, and threatened HardOCP over an older news story. Our own Robin Miller has talked to Infinium and written up his impressions of the situation.

    "YOU FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT YOU FUCKING MORON. DO YOU THINK THAT THIS LYSSA WATSON ACCOUNT IS NOT A TROLLING ACCOUNT?!??!!"

    Hey looks like someone's already ran all the scenarios through their head. Given this, and the fact that you've looked through the account makes you the pathetic loser. "Do you believe that by coming to "her" defense, she'll e-mail you privately and then you can meet and make sweet love? You're fucking pathetic"

    I don't post my email address here publicly.

    Damn, you ever tired of being wrong?
