No, because people can comment on the outcome of the case, whether they agree or not. It may be closed eventually, but now would be premature.
Case dismissed! Discovery and Tardigrade game "not similar"

Ah! The good old attempt at sounding reasonable by using fancy words. "Moving goalposts".
Hey look, I can do the same:
- Ad hominem attack!
- Appeal to authority!
- False dichotomy!
- Strawman argument!
- Hasty generalization!
Especially since everything you just said could have been summarized as: TL, DR
Because you quite obviously didn't. You just glanced over this discussion, knew you'd disagree with me, and wrote something, even though you quite obviously never actually got where and why you actually disagree with me.
I always love it when the CBS fanboy folks attack me for being an Abdin supporter/anti-DIS, and the Abdin-supporter/anti-CBS crowd attacks me for being a pro-CBS shill. Because quite obviously there is no possibility other than to be firmly in one camp... That always shows how much thought effort actually went into the post.
I know you would prefer to just shut this thread down entirely, because somehow "disagreement on fundamental details" is somehow too nuanced and frowned upon on message board nowadays. But this thread wouldn't have been going on for 100+ pages if the answer would have been as reductively simple as you try to make it.
cheers.

Clearly not if you read their post above yours.

All fallacies you yourself have used in just one single paragraph. Amazing.

Eh. I think it should be possible to simply disagree with something - especially a small thing, nobody here says the judgement overall was wrong - without derailing the thread by being personally antagonized over it again.
From a mod that's doubly dissappointing.

Pot...meet Kettle.Yeah, why adding anything insightful when you can MEME!
*insert notorious Cumberbatch-nope...
If it is such a small thing why did it require further discussion?
At this point it feels like arguing for the sake of arguing.
What happens to the guy now? Does he have to pay court costs or such?
I find it exceedingly difficult to blieve that any Abdin supporters attacked you. When you came into this thread you were adamant about Ripper being a ripoff of Abdin's work. In post after asinine post, you doggedly argued that Abdin deserved to win the case. You created your own law in support of the notion in order to justify your position. It was ridiculous. Poster after poster painstakingly explained to you why you were objectively wrong about the two characters being significantly similar, but you just kept going with the 'Abdin was wronged' show.
So, you trying to now portray yourself as someone who was so objective that both sides attacked you makes no sense.
Huh? Rahul admitted he was mistaken months ago, after the timeline of events came out. The users here convinced him he was wrong.
All he's saying now is that he disagrees with the Judge's opinion that there are no similarities, but has said that any similarities are just coincidental and that CBS didn't steal anything.
I've been following this thread since the day it was opened. He never moved goal posts.

That wasn't the first time the timeline had been explained to him (or even the fifth), it was just the first time he actually acknowledged it. And the quoted post is 100% accurate in saying that he has, from the start all the way to now, insisted on upholding Abdin's claims of 'similarity' without ever being able to describe, let alone even attempt to prove, why exactly any of these things should even be considered significantly similar.
That doesn't mean he moved goalposts, and I don't see how what you responded to says otherwise. It does mean his attempt to portray himself as perfectly balanced and catching flak from 'both sides' is obviously ridiculous.
Haaay...
Ya stole my modus operandi !
(and beat me to the punch)
You should sue @Locutus of Bored. It'll be fun and give us something to argue about for another 107 pages. I've always wanted to do a ranty youtube video for views.
What game? There's only a dev-blog.
Well that makes no bloody sense. No game so he had nothing to complain about.
That was the crux of it. He claimed someone saw his unfinished dev-blog on steam and ripped him off, which I always found much harder to swallow than someone picking up a cheap indie game on a whim and ripping it off.
I'd agree with that. It's not like he had anything to lose, he had no actual game, just a few ideas that he hadn't even fleshed out.
I'd do it if we were in the Court of Fools, but I highly doubt the Court of Public Opinion was be as supportive.
