Wouldn't the story make Joseph Reckendorfer (the investor who bought the patent for $100,000 and then couldn't use it) a classical patent troll - only stopped by the Supreme Court? :-) Or would modern patent trolls be simply investors like Joseph?

"More Than Three Teams" Working On Halo Games 72

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday September 18, 2008 @06:20PM from the milking-the-cash-cow dept.

1Up reports on comments by Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Game Studios, which indicated that several different teams are working on Halo projects at the moment. Quoting: "When GamesIndustry.biz then pointed out that it puts the Age of Empires franchise in a similar position as Halo after Bungie departed from their partnership with Microsoft, that's when Spencer dropped this intriguing tidbit: 'Well, there's more than one team building Halo games right now. There are more than two or three teams building Halo things right now. Some of them we will own, some of them we won't. It's never been, for me, about who you own or don't own — it's about working with the best creative talent in the industry,' he said."

SCI conferences series is a well-known scam in academia that accepts *any paper*, gets registration money from "happy authors" and does nothing. You can send a blank page there and it will get accepted, so this is not a big story. :-(

Here is a link describing the scam:
