Stardock

Developers Paul Reiche and Fred Ford today filed a counterclaim against Stardock in U.S. District Court in Oakland claiming to be the creators and sole copyright owners for Star Control I and II. This was in response to Stardock’s December lawsuit alleging the opposite. Ars Technica has a great write-up of the topic.

Stardock is rebooting Star Control. Here’s hoping this turns out OK, because I remember II being cool as hell.

Stardock deals itself in to the mobile market. Dead Man's Draw, a rather spiffy-looking card game for iOS, marks the developer's debut on mobile platforms. You can get it here.

Stardock's CEO dove into a nearly-frozen lake to rescue his dog today. "Definitely the coldest I've ever been." Brave!
