FEZ BECOMES FEDGE
POLYTRON CHANGES NAME OF UPCOMING GAME FROM FEZ TO FEDGE
For immediate release
Montreal, November 11 2009 – International world leader in “Artificial Entertainment” Polytron Corporation is excited to announce a name change for its upcoming smash sensation, Fez.
Indeed! To better represent the edgy nature and aesthetic the game, and edges of squares and cubes, Polytron is proud to announce the name change from Fez to FEDGE!
We at Polytron Corporation are at the edge of everything, at the edge of other edges, so it only make sense to reflect this edgyness in our product’s name, which is now Fedge.
About Polytron:
Polytron is an edgy game developer.
About Fedge:
Fedge is a game about squares and cubes, which both have edges.

I’m Fedge. Can I have a free copy?

Your new game is an awesome person with a nice penis. Day one purchase for me.

Hi, I’m Miles Fedgeworth, owner of Fedge’s Hedges and Topiary PLC.
In 1992 we filed a copyright claim in Christmas Island for ‘”Fedge”, as pertaining to Hedges, horticulture, grass, lawnmowers, weed trimmers, topiary and computerised hedge shaping simulations’. Your title “Fedge” clearly infringes on a number of our protected copyrights and we wish to seek renumeration.
The “trixel”, is clearly inspired by (if not exceedingly derivative of) our unique equilateral cuboid hedge designs and we aggressively protect our unique designs with full support of the HGDA (Hedge Growers Drinking Association).
We expect compensation in the form of money, promo copies and tshirts.

Horrible name change in my opinion. Fez gave the game a nice feeling to it. Fedge sounds weird, but Fez sounded cool, and….gah! it was so much better. It makes me sad that you changed the name.

Nicely done. I love the article’s tags

*Tim Langdell doesn’t like this*
November 11th, 2009 at 18:39
If it weren’t for the fact that so many indy devs announced this today, I”d say this smells like a lawsuit.
Good to know you’re still alive. real news next time, plz?
November 11th, 2009 at 20:17
This is real news. Langdell’s shinanigans are a threat to small devs who would have swords in their games. His company deserves to go under; they don’t make anything, just scum by feeding on lawsuits.
“edge”
oh, and someone needs to make some clever tim langdell’s game. Parody of course.

Fedge? That sounds extremely edgy. You should really consider changing Polytron into Edgytron.

Tuhd does not approve. It sounds like a cross between fudge and hedge. Basically, to fake it, and to play bets very cautiously. You were edgier when you called it Fez. Because he collects fez hats, not Fedge hats.
I mean, what the fedge.
change it back.

Ha ha ha, not sure if you are serious. But as it won’t change the amazingness of the game, I am not too concerned. But I like the logic behind the name change.
November 13th, 2009 at 14:31
Can’t make an omelet without breaking an edge.

FEZ, FEDGE, who cares… It makes no difference to the fact that this game STILL isn’t out yet! Quit FUDGING around & get back to work so I can BUY this game!
November 13th, 2009 at 22:01
…joke friends.
November 15th, 2009 at 11:55
pssst… the color’s off. the black on the letters FE is a different color than the black on DGE
November 15th, 2009 at 11:57
what the? the comments just swallow anything they get?
then this should work, too. (if you don’t see it, never mind)
November 16th, 2009 at 12:08
Tim Langdell, the ultimate hack – single handedly making the world of gaming that little bit shit since 1984
November 20th, 2009 at 15:07
I liked fez better…..but I am biased because I only wear fez hats
November 20th, 2009 at 20:30
I actually read about this while ago and thought ‘the heck, FEZ was a lot nicer’ But now that I dug up on Tim a bit, I’ll just have to say.. Way to go guys.
November 26th, 2009 at 17:55
Now I’mma gunna have to give my FEZ shirt to GoodWill and go get a new FEDGE one.
December 28th, 2009 at 17:30
Will you be posting a new video? My friends will like to see me post a cool demo like the one in the old video but it shows my name at the end. I won’t try to claim I made it lol. I have about 10000 viewer reach.
