100% Agree....
adding here in measured amounts to get better than upcoming FOMO pricing.
We have already proved our patents at higher test levels than 101.
2021 going to be great!
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/activision-ea-tried-to-buy-minecraft-report/1100-6425648/
I don't think ATVI ever owned Minecraft...
Today's news is fantastic! This will pull WDDD onto the radar of many many more investors.
How can you not add here? This just added several dollars to our shareprice in terms of settlement.
You thought Activision was a big fish... Microsoft just bought Zenimax (Bethesda) You know, Skyrim & Fallout... these will be added to the suit. Trust me on that.
I haven't been this excited in forever.
Buy with both hands. Once the ATVI 101 (any day now) comes out in our favor.... GAME ON!
Casper will rule in favor of WDDDs as she will rely on Lang. These claims have survived this long through all these tests PTAB, etc... she won't rock the boat. The schedule is set, and experts will flesh out the damages owed. She had hoped this was going to get killed before it got back to her and now she will allow justice to be pursued and proved by people more informed than her on tech.
100% Agree!
This COVID thing has really changed the way we live... I am tired of seeing the numbers here in Florida breaking records.
Stay safe... good times just ahead!
Wow... that was sarcastic, yes?
1) It all depends on how large of a position one wants to accumulate and using the long term capital gains tax (reduced) amount. Everyone who has bought here has bought on their own terms which makes it right for them.
I doubt ATVI will be successful in being granted an appeal.
They have infringed, that is already determined.
We are looking at the damages now. Guidelines on licensing percentages are already well established. Susman is King at this... we are in the best hands. They know how to bring this home and they have a big payday awaiting them for doing so.
Not buying at these depressed prices is silly.
Happy 4th to Y'All!
As the days pass... I am very excited to move into the next stage here. Checking boxes and pushing ATVI further and further into settling.
It's all coming together. The years of being patient are ticking down.
I love the calendar we have now.... remember when we had no guidelines... just our faith?
This time next year we'll be VERY excited.
Cheers!
Susman is the main show now. These guys are the reason I bought in all those years ago (2013).
As much as I love the discussion here as of late... my Trust is in Susman. My dollars are on the guys with the track record and who will be crushing ATVI and all the other infringers of WDDD patents.
So... armchair quarterbacking is fun... but let's not lose site of who is going to win the BIG $$$ for us.
Cheers and I keep adding these cheapies!
Yep... buy the dips!
Yep.
It's a cheap strategy... keep changing counsel to buy time. We're on the clock now. The Courts have let ATVI play all the stall tactics.
If people want to keep selling their dollars for pennies here... I'll keep adding.
Cheers!
This argument by ATVI's counsel is so weak... I couldn't help myself and added another 10,000 shares.
GLTA
Not selling... just dripping to confuse longs as to the value of the stock. Very typical.
I have a few shares... I used to have Millions before the Reverse Split.
We are close... don't let anyone tell you different.
Will some loose shares drop once in awhile?
Of Course but to accumulate any decent size of shares... will get harder and harder.
GLTA
I wasn't telling anyone to buy... just don't get upset when it gets much more expensive to buy these currently very cheap shares.
Everyone thinks they know how stocks trade... which is BS.
Everyone has an opinion, yes. Patterns can be traded yes... but there is always risk.
Nobody knows when ATVI will flinch. They have new Management since our action started against them.
Nobody knows the pressure on ATVI to settle.
Anyone trading this stock... doesn't understand trading. Far too illiquid to regularly make cash. This is a a Buy and Hold.
GLTA
Fear paralyzes those who allow it to
You know this stock trades at a significant discount
You know the 'Hearing on Activision's 35 U.S.C. 101 motion on July 20, 2020 has been decided in favor of WDDD already and this is merely the checking of a box
You know WDDDs has already had claims restored and proven ATVI infringed
You know Bungie will get sued as well
You know we are down to the 'formal' process of determining damages... not IF ATVI infringed but how much they owe WDDD.
Yet... you are too afraid to pick up $1,000 more in shares?
4,000 shares @ .25 = $1,000
4,000 shares @ $5 = $20,000
I think we all believe $5 is still too low... so you can see I am looking at this on the conservative side.
How many shares do you want to own?
You only need 200,000 shares to be a millionaire @ $5/share (pre tax)
Get those shares @ .25/share only costs $50,000
Soon... it will only cost more...
GLTA
Pressure... to settle.
I've got time... I want MAX payout :)
I'm doing very well on other investments (& Crypto... HUGE!) but I love WDDD and am happy to pick up cheap shares.
To those who dump at these prices... to me... I say thanks.
Chasing is something I don't do when I know my shares are boiling and will explode upwards all in good time. Patience is how the Pros (like me) grow our wealth.
Cheers!
I could not agree more. WDDD is about resolving old issue(s) and not dependent on current market conditions. I believe we will go much higher than $5/share.
We have already shown infringement and had claims restored.
Bungie & ATVI are one. They will owe us much and their tab grows as they stall.
Anyone selling now... doesn't know the history here.
Onwards and upwards!
I believe the relationship between the 2 is obvious. They published games together.... (Destiny) we'll see soon enough.

https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/AboutDestiny
Exactly! I keep adding as well... if they want to sell at a discount, good for us!
I can't believe that the people here know how discounted the current price is but they still don't add a little here and there.
People... this is your chance to add!
Sure, keep some dry powder for a surprise dip but the value keeps adding daily and soon the stock price will follow.
Mispriced assets don't stay that way for long... July (next month), I expect this will enter the .30s and continue up as the heat turns up on ATVI
All the best!
I think he simply retained the PR Firm back then... to have them at the ready should anyone settle.... which never happened so... no PR. Thom doesn't waste money for the Traders.
I 100% agree. Current shareprice only means something if you look at it as a current entry or exit price. Certainly does not reflect value.
To a point... yes, I agree but the bigger issue here is that not enough people know about the Story here yet.... Just a few old timers. Not enough to get this rising. Hot Money will kick start this HARD & FAST.
After June 9th (tomorrow), I expect the PR Firm Thom hired will begin to shine a light on WDDD's story. It will trickle in and build.
Share price has never concerned Thom because he has friends who support him and he knows what he has here. He is comfortable he will get paid and all the old timers who keep holding... will have the payday of their lives after the longest wait of their lives. At least they'll get (me included) favorable Capital Gains tax rates on top of great entry prices :)
July we will see .30s and keep rising.
Cheers!
100%. Good call.
I agree. Merely a formality.
Looks like accumulation is underway... thoughts?
Not halted... everyone hunkered down trying to find direction.
News will move this.
Cheers!
People are too greedy!
We finally have a court schedule, several wins, & multiple suits moving forward.
Why would we be worth less that we were prior to these developments?
No worries... people are waking up and they will demand shares.... demand equals Up, Up, Up!
Thanks to whomever allowed me to pick up another 30,000 shares here today.
Cheers!
My thoughts exactly!
We've been here before... pretty safe to add here in my opinion.
Cheers!
TradeTrak, I think this is what you referenced?

I was the biggest bear on Tesla from the beginning up until last year. Currently, I am waiting on my fully-loaded Cybertruck order. Tesla controls the World's Industrial/Commercial Battery Market. I encourage everyone to look into the Markets they dominate. It's much more than cars. I will be converting my Spanish tile roof to a Tesla Solar roof V3 feeding a Powerwall which will power my home and feed my Cybertruck for life. This replaces my Generac, removes the brownouts we experience here and removes the Hurricane power loss threat. Saving the environment is nice, but my main reasons are to protect my businesses. The need for reliable power is my motivation as it impacts my ability to react quickly which is everything these days. The Internet of Things is now.

That aside, Bezos has a current publicity problem. I see him playing safe while also jamming his competitors. Amazon licensing adds firepower to our claims. His 'pay as he goes' license happens while the hurt gets applied to his competitor's in the Billions of dollars. That's money that can't go to product development... smart move.
Of course, I am speculating but go look at Amazon... it's undergoing several changes to it's businesses as of late.
Either way, we should be good.
I disagree.... AMZN is smart.
They will look good accepting to license.
Being new, they get a marketing advantage by doing so.
Think Tesla: No Legacy costs. Unlike Ford, GM, etc... who have Pensions, etc to pay. Tesla walks in and looks good makes $$$ fast.
Just think how AMZN accepting a license agreement would hurt their competitors. It is the smart move.
Well said.
They are protected from a 'hostile' takeover.... a buyout would have to be agreed to by WDDD (& Susman).
I doubt that will happen. WDDD would demand a HUGE ask for that to happen.
If they settle... then the agreement is between the parties without Court penalties... so, yes
BUT: Treble will be used to leverage WDDD's settlement which should result in a much higher Settlement Number ($$$) for WDDD.
I hope WDDD does not settle... it will help jack up all our settlements with other infringers.
This did all start out of trying to understand how COVID19 would impact settlement discussions with ATVI.
I believe it did take on a life of it's own and true to life, we all learned a little more about our fellow posters (which helps to better understand their posts here) and our differences. More importantly, most showed compassion and understanding. Good to see.
Personally, I can't wait to get updates and WDDD specific chats are on fire!
Anyone see 283,000 @ .22 today?
Thanks ItsAlive, your family history is amazing as well! It's our spirit that makes our futures brighter.
Cheers!
Thanks TradeTrak. These are unbelievable times!
Who was the guy back in... was it 2014 that did the Monte Carlo Simulation for WDDD? If I remember, he did it as a slide show... maybe?
Has anyone done a Yacht count lately? Back when the count was a Million to join... did it get reduced? I wonder how many shares folks carry today.

This crisis has brought much into the light for all to see.
I can't help but think of when Britannia ruled the Seas.... with no worthy foes for too long... forgot what made them the Best and became merely an Image of Success (only)... no longer aware of the skills that made them the World's most successful Navy.
If you enjoy the art of stratagem, there is a game I recommend. My favorite version is V. There is a VI but V is my favorite. If you have Steam or are interested, Steam is a great way to get PC games.

I think it's a great touchstone for History and could be a test for everyone. It can reveal much about one's self while also showing we need to balance our pursuits in life.
If you have an XBOX, there is a 'lighter' version of the game. Gamestop will have it for cheap or check the Store on Xbox
Hearing about your business being closed is something I can relate to and am sorry to hear. Making the best of your time with your family... priceless. I wish more people would see the wisdom of making the most of this time.
I believe what is being looked upon as 'stupidity' is really just pure panic. Not many today are brought up to be balanced people and when things go wrong... panic and fear take over. My great grandfather was a sea captain who sailed around the World 6 times (back when it was a big deal). My grandfather taught boys to be Sea Scouts and was in WW2 on a Navy boat. We learned about PTSD before it had a name. Lightning was never the same for him and night time lightning was the worst.
My father taught my 6 siblings and I survival skills and how to keep our cool under pressure. I taught my children the same. I wish more parents would do so as well. School has moved online for my kids, Prom was supposed to be last night. Graduation is still on for May 21st... but we'll see. Our State Exams also cancelled. That means... my son has 1 course he doesn't write an Exam in. My daughter has all her Exams to do as both are in AP courses which are moving ahead online in a new 45 minute timed format per course.
Are we stressed? A little but I have always taught my kids to 'Trade the Market you have, not the Market you Want'.
Life is not normal. We should all come through this with new purpose, new appreciation for things forgotten, and hopefully we are better to each other. 9/11 had that impact on NYC.
Stay safe and enjoy these quiet moments with those you love.
Life will get crazy busy soon enough.
Cheers!
Stupidity is subjective.
Armchair quarterbacking may be a National Pastime but doesn't help those on the front lines. Real plays in real time are being executed to try and save lives. Just because it hasn't been felt by many of you yet... doesn't mean it's not real. It's very real.
Do you remember another time where approx 3,000 New Yorkers lost their lives in 24 hours in your lifetime other than 9/11?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2035616/Cantor-Fitzgerald-lost-658-960-workers-9-11-thrives-boss-nightmares.html
I lost friends then... and now I have friends and family fighting for their lives.
I love the Markets and have been trading since the early 90s. Without people, their are no Markets. 9/11 showed us how important Wall St is to the World. The Bond Markets lost a lot of talent that day.
Maybe it's frustration... maybe it's a coping mechanism, maybe something else but please... we need to come together and Win this Battle. I have the same pride in our front line Medical teams now as I would have for our Boys in any Battle.
On the Settlement front... I would say ATVI is more likely to settle in these times as 'being exposed as a Bully who abused their position to steal tech from a small co', will play worse to the people of the Jury recently touched by death & sickness which is always more traumatic and will result in a larger punitive award.
That, and looking like a heartless company on the Public Markets is not the same as a Private Co bearing the hate of the Street. Maybe some of you are old enough to remember boycotts in the 80s... companies survived yes but went through some very tough times and spent much money to rehab their images.
Be safe. Be kind. Be American (the version the World fell in love with). A British friend of mine reminded me the other day about how we used to be viewed... they used to think we lived to a higher standard than the rest of the World. I like to believe we still do.
Cheers.
I can't imagine anyone would 'want' to sell here but as whole investment portfolios implode... they may have had to. Margin accounts took down the Markets very fast. We should become more orderly as margin has been scaled back.
April 13th... let's see a timeline put up for how this will proceed. That will get our stock climbing.
ATVI's new CEO would be smart to negotiate sooner rather than later.
Americans tend not to like the American Dream being stolen by anyone let along large companies. ATVI was offered a license and chose to steal the tech. WOW! Treble damages are very much at play here.
Florida awaits you OWL.
Stay safe.
