I haven't played any Cryengine games since the original Crysis, but alongside the graphics and gameplay, I also found the janky physics bugs to be amongst my fondest memories of the title.

Funnily enough, the best CryEngine games are not made in CryEngine, and are produced by a big publisher: the UBI's Far Cry games. Some of them even have passable vehicles. So there's that aspect too.

Response to asking if people are really ok with zero financial responsibility.

"If you are going to fight windmills. Why focus on something so small. Why not get mad at for example banks and their corrupting influence on politicians. Why not spend your energy on something that affects all of society? As I see it it railing at CIG is small minded and petty. An easy target. After all they are artsy people making entertainment for people who like to avoid reality for a little while. They are not professional Wall Street sharks who deserve your scrutiny. So my advice is to get your act together and focus on something worth fighting for. Good luck."

The new ToS do nothing other than to scream out that CIG and RSI have no faith in themselves to achieve what they are trying to do.

Why don't they have faith in their product to keep their backers happy and content?

Instead they ask for the backers to have faith in Chris Roberts and his history of fails and if your not happy with that, to bad.

I hope someone at Citizen Con will throw out some truth bombs.

When you consider that she rushed out to the states to get discovered and is still trying to be discovered sixteen years later, the freude doesn't get much worse.

And due to the fact that Hollywood prefers good-looking people, she may well have been discovered, cast in a leading role, recieved critical acclaim, and become an A-list movie star.

Except for the fact that she can't act, and was only ever going to be a bit-part actor or an extra potraying the role of 'hot girl in the background'.

Now the best she can expect is playing 'someone's mum'.

I had a cat live to 18 years, broke my heart when we had to put him down. As a consolation I kept remembering that he lived way waaaaaaay longer than most cats, a life of daily treats, pettings and love, never hungry, scared or in pain right until the end. Were that all of us could live such lives.

It really does, especially comparing this new ToS to the original "mission statement promise" or whatever the hell it was called, assuring early backers that not only would they show where all their money was being spent, but if anyone wanted a refund they'd happily do it for any reason.

Now that poo poo is out the window and Crobberts and Co. are desperate, I wonder why!

There are three kinds of shills in this verse.

1. CIG employees/interns

2. True believers doing it for free

3. Pro marketers, like the INN guy

There are no people getting pulled off the street/internet to shill. The paid shills that we've been encountering are unlucky CIG people, Sandi, and relatively inept reputation management types.

Paid and unpaid shilling is on a downturn. CIG has less money to pay with, and fewer believers to do it on the house. This downward shilling trend will continue.

I was always there for all my cats, personally I felt it would be better for them to have me there petting them and keeping them calm and stress free in the last minutes. Make no mistake, it's loving hard and I always cried my eyes out after but I felt it was my duty. If everything goes well they go very quickly and peacefully, like throwing a switch and they go to sleep.
My father who is this hard as nails man who's been in the war couldn't bring himself to accompany me when the time came for his favorite cat. There is no shame if you can't do it.

I think it does but I'm just a bloke on the internet. The EU ToS is however now being looked at by people who aren't just blokes on the internet.

There are two items in the EU ToS that to my eyes are not compliant with UK legislation. One is the lack of a delivery date, this applies to digital goods.
