Oddmob?
 
Afternoon everyone, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but it interested me so I thought I may as well ask...I noticed Abe's Oddysee has been released on PSN (woo) but I noticed, the company or whatever who put it there (I'm not a technical guy lol) is called "Oddmob"...not Oddworld Inhabitants. Are they the same people? What's going on? Thanks :fuzcool:

Wil 05-28-2010 10:06 AM

The same people who founded Oddworld Inhabitants are the founders of OddMobb too, with Larry Shapiro thrown in as the new president. But since we've been using Oddworld Inhabitants to refer to "those guys who made the games" as much as the legal company per se, it's pretty much the same thing.

New name, new business model, same top brass.

when do we expect oddmobb to open up? Since the website isn't finito yet

Taco 05-29-2010 06:32 AM

Probably when OddBox is released

OANST 05-29-2010 07:06 AM

When they make their first salable product.


Never.

So OWI does not exist anymore? man that really sucks. Oddmob is a really stupid name...
so Larry Shapiro is the new president, but is Lanning still make the games?

OANST 05-29-2010 11:08 AM

It's the same people. They just changed the name.

I'm just glad that they got the hat filled with shitty ideas that I sent them. I have to say, though, I meant it as a joke. I didn't think that they would actually put into practice any of the things that I put in there.

Crashpunk 05-29-2010 11:28 AM

Oh okay.

I wonder if they're change the Popular OWI Logo. i Really hope they don't

Seeing as the games on PSN are listed as being published by Oddmobb, you could say that they're already open.

Other than that, how do you define 'open'? Do you mean "When will they release something new?"? Well, then the answer is going to be "When the Antisocial Network is opened" and we don't have a timescale for that.

Crashpunk 05-30-2010 05:28 AM

i'm still calling them Oddworld Inhabitance :D

Wil 05-30-2010 05:44 AM

I'm not going to say what we're still calling you.

Xavier 05-30-2010 06:15 AM

Oddmobb is to Oddworld as 343 Industries is to Halo.

Not a company making games, but a company controlling brands.

Wil 05-30-2010 07:51 AM

If you Google "OddMobb" you'll find everything you need to know in the first result.

Crashpunk 05-31-2010 02:56 AM

Damn it Max now i'm all paranoid. :(
On a off topic note, why don't people see me as i am now not when i was a forum noob? thats been bugging me for ages.

Nate 05-31-2010 03:00 AM

Because you have yet to prove you're any different than you were back then. These things take time and considerable effort.

Crashpunk 05-31-2010 03:21 AM

I feel i've changed. quite a lot to be honest.

oh well.

Nate 05-31-2010 03:53 AM

You may have. We are yet to see it.

Now, no more off-topic talk in this thread.

http://www.trademarkia.com/company-o...58410-page-1-2 Does this help anyone? It lists OddMobb Inc trademarks, I know we know that they bought these but still.

Perhaps oddworld have already bought the domain but not the main page yet?
