I'm not sure exactly what Ortwin does since I don't follow the lore but the way he keeps getting referenced in Reddit threads reminds me of Lowtax pulling out Leonard J. Crabs

I feel like bluegoblin really believes that if CIG was at fault, they'd actually release a press statement saying so. I'm not sure how to classify that level of naivete.

It's a really weird stance to take. "I'm going to believe everything I'm told because I have no choice but to do so".

El Grillo posted:Have any forum internet lawyers has a good look at the pleadings yet? What's the verdict? Also are there pre-action protocols in the USA/the relevant states requiring parties to pursue ADR solutions before issuing proceedings? I’m not a lawyer but I watched Law and Order and the one with James Spader, and I think they’re pretty much closing the space door for the last times here. Writing is on the wall.

I'm glad to see that Tarkaroshe is still incredibly stupid. Hi Tarka!  Please feed the hamster that turns the wheel in between your ears. Preferably something like olanzapine.

 It’s too bad there wasn’t Face Over IP when this happened because it’d be like a wave of “Nooooo”’s and a cacophony of tears and anguish. Knowing that this may be the final state of their poo poo tier game before it gets shut down is great. The fact it’s tied to CIG servers is even better because they may not even be able to log into it in another unknown period of time. I didn’t think I’d get the hilariously great Disney ending. Thank you CryTek!  Derek I’ll give this one to you. Cheers, friend! *Leonardo DiCaprio glass salute.jpeg*

Kosumo posted:Well Chris Roberts has not released a game in the last 20 years so that is a good call. This is good enough for me!  But is it good enough for Skadden & Co? Somehow I have this sinking feeling they are out to kill. The worst part of this is that I feel like CIG is so terrible this lawsuit is going to destroy them super fast, and there will be precious little time to enjoy it being dismantled piece by piece. I want CR to watch them sledgehammer down his space door to wheel equipment out of there easier. I want to see the tears as he climbs into a Lyft or taxi because the Porsche’s have been taken back. Make it happen, Derek!

D_Smart posted:No, it means that if Crytek wins - as I expect they would - on ANY of their claims, they will own EVERYTHING related to this ENTIRE project as part of their collection efforts. A thought occurred to me: what happens to Coutts if Crytek wins, since CIG put up their IP as collateral for the loan? It seems that would start another legal battle, either Crytek vs. Coutts for the fire sale of CIG or Coutts vs. CIG for the loss of the IP.

Also speaking of Derek, has anybody stopped to consider what he’s going to do after this??? I hope this isn’t one of those things where he lays down, kisses his family, and says his work here is finished before heaven itself opens up and barfs a giant blog on his bed which finishes him off. Hurry Derek, find a new hobby before this one shuts down!

juggalo baby coffin posted:the only thing that sucks about this is when the game dies shitizens will be able to claim it WOULD have been great if crytek hadnt sundered croberts from his money like, outside of Chris Roberts blowing his brain out on stage while screaming his life for the stimperor, which ending scenario do you think would sway these people they weren't getting the dream? What was ever going to shake those dreams that wouldn't be blamed on goons, fud, refundists, derek smart, etc The cargo cult is always going to end with them starving to death on the lawn blaming the warlord. It's never going to be admitting they were wrong, seeing the sunk cost fallacy and learning anything
