Because Ortwin told Chris that they could just pretend to switch to Lumberyard and that Crytek would probably go bankrupt soon anyway.

That's the dumbest poo poo ever. As soon as you open yourself up to liability like that, even if Crytek goes bust, some rear end in a top hat will buy it for pennies on the dollar purely to sue for a MASSIVE CASH PAYOUT from an IP case.

TheLastRoboKyBeet Wagon don't listen to the doubters CIG is being framed. A single frame. Per second. It's all the engine can handle right now.

Aura RoweLumberyard Legally isn't Cryengine

Withnail 72Lumberyard bought out or bailed out Crytek

Markus Neibeckerah cmon your refund sub should have some influx now 😉

Aura RoweWell doesn't lumberyard have better networking intergration specially with Amazons servers systems?

Chris MShut THE gently caress up

crimsonempire1derek im waiting in the 3.0 menu for you to add me bro

Chris Myou dont know poo poo

suckmysilencer747He has made serious money with his infamy. Charges $10 to make an account on his forum let alone the money he gets elsewhere

SteelRain@Tam Summers no. Hes spent years trashing CIG. The rest of us are able to make logical comments and will say the odd bad thing about CIG. But DS has nothing good to say about the game.

crimsonempire1i love how people that dont play star citizen comment on it like they know whats up lol

Markus NeibeckerI wonder if the gates are broken anyhow if CIG just lashes out. That would be something I like to watch

Aura RoweIts more about how Derek surrounds himself with people who share the same opinions as himself

suckmysilencer747There are legit criticisms of CIG. But he takes it too far on a regular basis, that's the problem.

Markus NeibeckerI am not so sure about this, I think Derek is gone overboard, he should attend to his own lawsuits. That is the more important thing for him right now.

Markus NeibeckerTick Tock Derek, 10.01.2018 is coming 😃

crimsonempire1derek smart isnt a real person

Kevin Pit's dereks fault he's a piece of poo poo

Kevin Pbut i don't support racism or bigotry

suckmysilencer747@Aura Rowe Yeah. He's the embodiment of Youtube comment sections.

Aura Rowe@Refractive Index More like a inconsequential small zit on centre of your back that you can't really see... or reach.. its a bit annoying but you shrug and get on with your day. If it goes away hey!

Wulfir@chalks we obsess ? Have you seen his twitter ? Blog ? Forums ? VIDEOS ? HIS GAMES ? I mean this guy is super interesting to watch and follow. Have you seen Mindhunter ? Smart would fit right in.

suckmysilencer747Because he's here.

Kim Mortensen@Derek Smart i pity you if you have nightmares about you being right.. but then again it happens with such infrequency that i can see it as being traumatic

Kevin Prefractive is one of dereks alts he's just saying this to throw us off the scent!

Bob Labrekshould I get a refund?

Kevin Pnot about derek fart

TheLastRoboKyOh it's like, super serious. You've got two options really. Get a refund, or buy enough ships to counter everyone else getting refunds.

TheLastRoboKy@Kim Mortensen I'd love to see what's happening but the frame rate is killing me

Aura RoweSo Derek what will you do this time if your wrong and CIG doesn't go down

Aura RoweBecause your always right so CIG must fail here in this Decisive thing you prediced

rekohunter@Derek Smart IANAL but this to me feels like a settlement grab and as far as I recall the FEDS have yet to crack down on any other failed crowd funded projects.

'I just cannot sympathise with that level of stupidity' - Concierge backer

No joke, I forgot to screenshot it, but last night in the discord this was a totally real backer defense of CIG's official statement.

"Do you really think CIG would be dumb enough to say something like that if they didn't have complete confidence or evidence that they have already won the case? The fact you are reading this as a bad thing for CIG shows your bias."

CIG wasn't dumb at all. In fact they have already won. CryTek will fold their hand like a house of cards as CIG slamdunks a half court grand slam. Check Mate.

Just read about the suit.

I think it's actually the best thing that could have happened to CIG, it's their Christmas miracle.

I mean, they're getting 2 legitimate reasons to delay the game for at least a couple of years while playing the victim card. First is "we need time to deal with the suit (you just don't know how the legal system works" and the second is "we need to switch everything to another engine".

You know that fans will absolutely buy this poo poo.

Courts have this nasty habit of not working as predicted in terms of raising money. They actively put a dampener on recruiting and development, and it's going to make finding revenue streams that much more difficult.

Sure, the fans might buy the poo poo, but they're going to have a hell of time convincing new blood to throw in.
