I doubt you need to worry. Share price will reflect the new value of the company which will be in the multiples of today's value.
Do you worry about selling Apple shares? There was a time it too was an OTC stock.
As well, something that several of us expect is the special dividend. I expect Thom (a very large shareholder) and his friends will want to maintain control of the co so rather than sell shares which would reduce their ownership & control, churning out a special dividend would allow to take some $$$ off and keep things as is, ownership wise.
Good point.
Good to hear. Diamond Hands I appreciate... as will any other Diamond Hands.
Thanks for sharing.
Well... then we've just accounted for close to 10% of outstanding shares... Add in some other Longs here, Thom's friends, Thom, & who knows how many shares CaddilacD has accumulated... I would say scarcity is the flavor going forward.
I would be shocked at any True Longs selling any substantial number of shares below $1. After all this while... with all the wins... now we have Dates! It would be the worst of times to sell in my opinion.
When you take into consideration how few shares are actually available to trade and the Market Cap is currently less than $28 Million... it should be expected to rise quickly.
If you're right on a locked & loaded Settlement with Bungie, take a look at their games that infringed. Destiny alone was a huge game so on just settling with them I'm positive would be greater than our Market Cap up to at least $1/share.
I don't think they have settled as WDDD would want to keep them swinging in the Wind to see all the ways they can use Bungie rather than omit possible avenues with a premature settlement.
If you choose to believe me or not does change how many shares I hold.
I am a passive investor here... this should answer your question.
I understood your point... and as I mentioned... it's skewed towards Bungie... that was my point.
WDDD doesn't want to have a settlement on the record right now as Bungie has already showed it is a bad actor and would most likely 'help' ATVI gauge what WDDD is willing to accept.
We leapfrogged because time has been the issue all along. 1) it showed confidence on the behalf of WDDD, 2) it sent Notice to the Marketplace that infringers better be ready... WDDD is coming after them and 3) puts pressure on ATVI. If others settle, and trust me, once word gets out that others are willing to settle, it hurts ATVI's position of negotiation with TREBLE damages at stake.
Chatter is beginning to suggest Whales are entering... I am going to disagree... Market Cap here is under $28 Million. Thom's friends hold most of the shares. What is available to trade is actually very little. I've been trying to communicate this for awhile.
Those looking to sell now thinking they are getting in later at a lower price... don't get the value of their shares. You may get lucky but I doubt much volume will be available to get.
Interesting... it appears that most think WDDD is not in the driver's seat. All the settlement discussion(s) posted here by y'all (that I've seen) seem to lean in favor (or at least read this way to me) of the infringers.
Why would WDDD settle with anyone before ATVI? It makes no sense. Bungie is not going anywhere and as long as we hold what we have over them, they in effect, work for us (us being WDDD). Bungie tried to settle with WDDD.... WDDD said no!
Why set a settlement goal post in a case where we are obviously controlling the process? Bungie is invaluable to us as long as ATVI hasn't settled.
Remember, we have best in class representation with Susman... we are solid.
What is the number of outstanding shares for WDDD now.. something like 56,000,000? Current share price just crossed $.50
Do people really think the 101 is an issue? Come on! Look at history here.
People think.... knowing our history of winning on these very claims that the Co is only worth approx $28,000,000?
I think the SPIKE is coming... we've watched the weak hands get eaten up over the past few weeks.
ONCE 101 is confirmed as a non-issue... I see the rush happening. Thom's PR team should be at the ready.
How come everyone forgets ZTE?
VRNG was broken from the get go... Some attorneys bought the Co to pursue their patent infringement... It was run by an arrogant NYC attorney who burned through their resources and upset almost everyone... not even close to WDDD.
Stewards of the co they were not.
Patent trolls? 100%
They have ZERO (other than Hudson) in common.
Thom owns a large % of the shares here. He is very careful with the Co resources and he got MRMD to buy Worlds Online which has gone a long way in funding WDDD.
People are funny.... Just because a handle I chose 10 years ago says I am interested in finding diamonds in the rough doesn't mean I am a pumper. You don't want to hear my thoughts... block me. I have blocked a few obvious 'negative' posters over the years... not because they were negative but because they were obviously trying to scare investors... something I don't like: Bullies.
Personally, it makes no difference to me if anyone here buys or sells... I operate on a level most don't... am I bragging? No, just stating a fact.
If you are looking at buying small tranches, you may keep getting lucky with dips that 'may' come.. BUT, if you want a substantial position here... it's going to get very difficult and very soon.
Personally, I don't care for those who want to pat themselves on the back for arm chair quarterbacking. I care about my ROI on an investment I think will be very substantial.
Do your own due diligence. See what you see... I have been in WDDD since at least 2013 and now hold more than 5% of the common shares.
Again, am I bragging? No. I am making a point. 1) to gain a large position takes time and dips are nice but only to catch a few loose shares. 2) Strong hands are buying up the float which is making it harder and harder to get cheap shares. 3) ATVI is running out of time and options... so close are we that WDDD is pursuing other infringers ALREADY!
So... if you take anything away from this post... I hope it's: Read as much as you can, learn as much about the situation here as you can, decide if it fits your risk profile, listen to people who stick to facts about WDDD and their claims against the infringers. Everything else is bunk.
Much appreciated.
Thank you.
Funny... if you don't ask for better... you'll never get it.
I am on several boards. This one has been a favorite of mine. I would like to stand up and keep it awesome.
The good news? You can be a part of keeping this a great board.
Thanks
I have been a member of this MB for over 8 years; why?
The Board's intent is to discuss WDDD and it's future.
Anyone wishing to provide 'real' pros & cons are welcome IMHO.
Using (ongoing) scare tactics from obscure and unrelated events should be reason to be banned. It's not productive, it has no reason to exist here and an occasional outburst can be excused but ongoing blasphemy against our Courts and the people who dedicate themselves to our World revered system of Justice is unacceptable.
To the Moderators: Please help us keep the discussion here limited to real issues impacting WDDD.
We have had crackpots and Madhatters here in the past... if they add value, excellent. If they spread hate, fear, etc... in the hopes to buy shares on the cheap... let's be strong and give them the boot.
I don't believe this Board has much impact on the actual movement of the Stock but it used to be a great place to share ideas... is has devolved into disgusting attacks on our Country and the backbone that makes it all work.
Amen!
Very close to mine... thanks.
Where will be shoot up to when 101 clears?
My guess is a double. Your guess?
Quilt, you're a Saint.
Thanks.
He's trying to use zeitgeist to shake out shares... I find it annoying and will not respond to him going forward. His pattern of behavior is clear.
Thanks for your kind words.
Anything can happen here but the odds certainly stack in WDDD's favor.
Cheers!
I am tired of you pretending you are facts-based... go back and look at your posts.. citing unrelated events and pretending they apply here has nothing to do WDDD.
If loose shares fall out... trust me, I am happy to snap them up.
Cheers
WDDD is nothing like VRNG.
You are losing cred quickly.
I hope you are joking... right?
Why dump on everything without proof?
I work in the Courts everyday... some of my colleagues have become sick with COVID, we were shutdown for a few months last year, we started opening up with many hearings going on to Zoom, a couple attorneys I work with passed away. It has been very unsettling. To hear people unaffected spread rumors and conspiracy theories is beyond distressing.
On top of everything that happened last year, there was much strain put on the court system. This was not a typical year. Election years can be difficult but this was not a normal election year.
Keep the conversation to what is happening... enough with wild speculation on things that ARE NOT proven or have nothing to do with WDDD.
Enough is enough.
What are you trying to say? The whole lawsuit process is to drive the parties to settle... the screws being applied is the entire design of the court process and why so many settle before getting a verdict.
That said, Susman & WDDD most likely want a jury verdict as it will help with the settling at higher amounts with the remaining infringers; of which there are many.
Cadillac,
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Anyone suggesting they don't agree with you is no different than you not agreeing with the opinion of others.
Just because you think something, doesn't make it fact. Patting yourself on your back, doesn't mean you're right. The 101 is overdue and no one here can say(with certainty) why.
I would encourage you to research into what happened with GME... I see a breakdown in the ability of a few businesses to deliver their services and then trying to deal with that. I would love to hear which elements you consider to be corrupt. I am a Legal-Financal Professional... so please don't worry that I won't understand your points... go as technical and as deep as you wish.
Painting a situation as corrupt does not make it corrupt. Using an oranges to apples comparison also doesn't make anything certain.
Your stance is consistent, that is obvious. I am Long here and I have the education & the experience to feel very comfortable with my large position here.
We shall see in time.
Cheers
Thanks... we're almost there.
Time to check reality... Gamestop is in it's early days... was there some dirty dealing? Yes... and the lawsuits have already begun.
Conspiracy theories are rampant at present. If you want a more 'fair' comparison of Gamestop to WDDD.... it would be when ATVI was offered a license, said NO thanks then used our tech.
Some bad things happened years ago... and that's why we are here... don't confuse the marketplace with our Court system.. We are well into the Lawsuit process... not early days like GME.
US Law is based on Common Law a/k/a The Law of Precedence. WDDD has had several Experts rule in favor of our patents and claims... to undo these would take exceptional new evidence to the contrary... which is extremely unlikely. ATVI has tried every trick in the book without success...
So, if we're actively searching for corruption, etc... let's make sure it's apples to apples... or it simply doesn't apply.
The US Court System is the envy of the World because of our Appeals process, transparency, fairness, and Jury process.
As always...if the process makes anyone feel uncomfortable, they should sell there shares and find a more comfortable stock to invest in. That's the beauty of our Financial Markets... also the envy of the World.
Cheers
Yep... it's been a long time coming.
Thom spoke about it years ago... it's still very far out.
Too much happening here. I'm sure Thom will expand on his plans in time... I just don't see it making any sense to tout now. It feels like many don't know just how vast the group of infringers is right here and the dollars we stand to get from them.
Also, as we knock down each infringer, the stronger we get and the more we prove our ability as an Advocate for justice... which is what other patent holders want to see...That all said, I would expect WDDD to form JVs to pursue... still so many years out.
Won't happen... Robinhood, etc... can't trade OTC.
I wouldn't worry too much what Thom and Gang is thinking about post winning on the current WDDD patents. Thom is a massive shareholder and he is very excited to get some $$$ out without selling shares as that would reduce his majority ownership... selling shares is not good in fending off hostile bids.
On another note... how many people do you know bought tickets to the massive lottery that was just won (over $1 Billion up for grabs).
Chance of winning that.... less than zero.
Buy $100 of WDDD.... best investment one can make.... no where close to the risk of a lottery ticket and we have Billions to be made.
GLTALs
Keep some powder for the shakeout... we will dip lower than you expect... just don't set any stop losses... you'll be fine.
I expect Market Maker to dip this to high .40s to scare out weak hands.
Great time to add when we get there.
Then, once they have stolen as many shares as possible, we bounce back up and rise towards ATH!
Keep Strong... great story here.
Think back to the last reverse split.... remember it was Thom who brought in friendly investors who stand behind Thom. I believe through this he controls the majority of share ownership and why so little of the float is actually available to trade.
Soon we will get a taste of just how few shares are really available to trade... strong hands have scooped up most of the loose shares so when we launch... it should get exciting quickly.
Without being able to get a majority of shares, ATVI is blocked from buying a controlling position in the company and they probably couldn't get a sizeable position for a good price any longer anyhow.
Yep.
Exciting times for us :)
Billions in sales... Fallout & Skyrim are 2 of the best selling series of all time. Both are online.
Zenimax owns Bethesda (MSFT just bought Zenimax).

Short answer is yes...
Part of the current process is determining the window of claim construction.
We are so cheap at this time... more and more answers will be forthcoming with the ATVI suit. I don't see WDDD being motivated to settle so... ATVI will have to dig deep to entice WDDD to consider anything short of a jury trial with treble damages in play.
Once we nail ATVI... then attention will shift to next levels but that's several dollars higher on our stock before that will come to be.
Excellent.
Zero chance of a reverse split here.
No need to reverse split... I can see a split to feed demand for new investors by opening the float but not for awhile... a tight float works in WDDD's favor. Think Amazon, etc...
Thom and the whales have already declared they will expand the business to fight on behalf of other patentholders but we have much to get with the current patent portfolio to stay busy for a few years.
Reverse split already occurred. WDDD has a small float. Once we hit $1... I see an uplist to a better exchange quickly... watch.
Most of our float doesn't trade so any influx of new investors will drive share price up quickly once weak hands are shaken out.
Some points for those new to Patent Enforcement, Courts, & WDDD:
1)Thom's old time investors control the co through majority ownership of shares... so no hostile takeover is possible so take that off the table.
2)Once the 101 concern is put to bed... which would look suspect if it didn't at this point as WDDD has been tested & tested & tested again, any ruling contrary to all the previous tests (PTAB, etc..) would have to fight why WDDD has been validated so many times if it didn't meet the minimum test of 101.... WDDD has never been this strong in it's claims.
3) ATVI has treble damages at stake and jury's tend to punish wilful infringement with large awards... ATVI has made many BILLIONS! (Old ATVI management was replaced, why? I bet due to a behavior of infringing and not caring... a pattern of behavior will crush them.
4) Linden (a small player with funding issues) will need to settle quickly to survive... because of this, it puts massive pressure on ATVI to sort out a settlement or have the Linden terms work against them in settlement discussions.
5) Microsoft has been buying up studios like Zenimax who owns Fallout franchise, Skyrim, et (Bethesda Studios) massive best sellers using WDDD tech. This will be worth a lot to WDDD
6) WDDD's strategy of bringing action(s) against several infringers shows strength and has put massive pressure on the infringers as who will crack first? Think cops interrogating all the people they caught planning a heist... weakest link theory... pressure is on to settle!
7) BIG Tech is under attack by the regulators... this added pressure should help us. it's hard to run a business while all your resources are under attack on all fronts.
I have been patiently waiting years for these things to come together. Thom has done a superb job of slowly & quietly amassing the components to put WDDD in the position of strength it now sits in.
Sooner than expected, WDDD will start showing up on the radars of many more investors. That influx of new investors will drive share price way, way up. Look at the trend of pennies being driven up by RobinHood, WeBull, etc... on the speculation of a large upcoming payday. check out ZOM, OCGN, CTRM, to name a few.
Once we uplist off the OTC, these retail investors will pile in. I am more excited about the uplist at this time than anything.
Get in before it does or pay the higher prices to add.
Cheers!
We should.... get your $25 share price on sale for $.40 :)
