Infinium Labs Threatens Gaming News Site

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.

Re:Troll's gone already!

If you look at the troll's only journal entry, they've called it quits already: (cut and pasted for the lazy):

And just after I began too. Apparently my 'karma' is now 'terrible' and this means I can only post twice daily. This happened because some people believed I was a 'karma whore troll'. I did a bit of googling and found the wikipedia slashdot 'troll' page. While this is all very fascinating, I really have better things to do than participate in a community like this.

So goodbye and good luck slashdot!

No mention of the "she's a guy" shit, though. Not a bad mornings' work :-)
