Remember when this game finally revealed that one of the biggest trolls and flamers in this game's history is actually a member of their staff?



Yeah, and then the realization set in regarding something else associated with that fact.

Why do you think GLB is short on money. It takes a lot of money to get Obamacare


Ain't nobody got money for that!

The only legal reason not to respond is that GLB might say something that will be used as evidence against them in future litigation. The only privacy issues that they could claim with catch's disclosures are trade secrets or confidential information if he had a contractual agreement to keep the information he learned on the job confidential. Otherwise, he is free to disclose what he wants. As someone stated earlier, he is essentially judgment proof due to his financial situation, so the only remedy they could be looking for in a lawsuit is an injunction against him disclosing the above allegedly confidential information.

Assuming he did not sign any type of confidentiality agreement and he is not disclosing any trade secrets (though GLB certainly has trade secrets, nothing currently on his website could qualify as a trade secret), the refusal to offer a substantive response just indicates that he offered a number of truths on the website that they do not want to respond to because they would either have to (1) acknowledge the truth of his assertions or (2) lie in order to deny the truth of those assertions. At this point, their reaction to catch seems to be more bully tactics than anything with a real bite. Depending on how financially viable Warrior Games really is, they could try to use litigation to put him in a money bind. But if what they told him is true, they don't have the financial capability to use the cost of litigation as a motivator to keep him from talking.

In the end, anything other than a substantive response to his claims as well as more transparency for the user base is the only way GLB can save face in this matter. But given its history of being incredibly secretive and using KGB tactics to silence any information they don't want out, I doubt that's likely.



Did you attend Whittier Law School in Orange County, California?

Half that shit is common sense really for anyone who went to college at some point.


So, the 1% of GLB.

No Obamacare for my ass.

You're just being nosy now. I'm as paranoid as the next guy, but obviously they are taking the high road as they assess the situation.

That isn't being paranoid. It's simply a logical conclusion based upon my knowledge of the facts of the situation. As I said, if there's a confidentiality agreement in place, things change. But that doesn't seem to be the case. What seems to be the case is that they are trying to shut down the flow of information from a former employee by threatening litigation even if that litigation is doomed to fail.

Fortunately, I attended one of the best law schools in the country. But as I said in my previous post, I'm not acting as a lawyer in this thread or any other thread on GLB. This is fun time, not work time.
