Summary: There has been a major development in the Arcade City saga. Will this finally be the end of it? This is the twenty-eighth episode of The LAVA Spurt, The Arcade City / Swarm City Hard Fork Edition. While I was away, there was some major news in the Arcade City ongoing saga, so I wanted to make sure to get it to you as quickly as I could. A friend of mine, Joel Valenzuela, reported on this for the website Cointelegraph. I’ve linked to his original article in the show notes to this episode at thelavaflow.com/tls028. I’ll pretty much be going from his article in the episode. For the back story on the full Arcade City saga, you can listen to episode 45 of this show, The Gamification of Arcade City Edition, at thelavaflow.com/45 and episode 50 of this show, The Arcade City 2.0 Edition at thelavaflow.com/50. I heard from another friend, who requests to remain nameless, that when Christoper David resigned from the Arcade City Council, he refused to hand over the intellectual property of the company, including the web address, twitter and FB accounts, and the name Arcade City. With this being the case, and with the new members of the Arcade City Council understanding how toxic Christopher David is after being hammered on their last Reddit AMA, the Arcade City Council decided to cut all ties to Chris and to rebrand as Swarm City, which will have the use of all of the funds raised in the ARC token sale, all $620,000 worth. Of course, this has caused a ton of bickering. As would be expected, Chris David is calling foul since he will now be left with the Arcade City intellectual property that will be worth exactly nothing at the end of all of this. He’s saying that the new dev team is committing fraud by using the money to launch a separate project. Bernd Lapp, the head of Swarm City, says this is a direct result of trying to distance themselves from Chris.
