I only deal with this sort of thing from the view of some work working as a coder, but *each and everytime* I provide a build, assets or even a drat code snippet, to a trusted middleware developer (usually Audiokinetic) I check that our legal agreements still stands with said developer. As I posted on Twitter, it's Zenimax v Oculus bad. A firm like Skadden would never get involved in small potatoes. ----------------

TheAgent posted:this could easily be a $50m to $100m+ lawsuit It would be the ultimate justice if CIG's own braggadocio, all in service of more pledges, is exactly the thing that sinks them. Triple-LOLs if CIG has to admit the tracker is fake to try and reduce what they owe. Sextuple-LOLs if it's not fake and they get hosed from that direction too. All of this is better than anything CIG could have built on purpose.

quote:On May 6, 2015, Defendants began posting a series of videos online titled "Bugsmashers." The videos contain excerpts of information from CryEngine that were confidential, in breach of the GLA, and should not have been shown to the public. The series continues today. Reminds me of something. When the press inevitably come around our offices, we always get an email reminder to not have any important assets, code, etc on screen during filming.

I sincerely doubt there's any connection between the idea of the upper echelon of CIG cashing out a few months before the company is liquidated in lawsuits that pay off the upper echelons of Crytek while simultaneously cancelling a doomed project at no fault of the developers who would otherwise be murdered in their sleep by furious fans. That's crazytalk.
