The ship item... ehmm...

Um... then from there... with the PMA, uh... that is finally entered in QATR... we have the categ... the categories the way that we want them to be, um... we... were finalising the HIGHLIGHTING so ideally once that finished the QATR we'll be ready to... to... to FLIP THE SWITCH and say that that is FEATURE COMPLETE.

The VMA is... is... being worked on, ah... RIGHT NOW as we speak, um, since ah... most of that work that is being done on the PMA transfers directly across over to the VMA so... ah... then from there we'll... we'll probably need to do some minor cleanups and... and... the way that we sort through the... the list of the ITEMS that are on the ship and... um... but that's pretty MINOR

PERSONAL INNER THOUGHT went through an impromptu DES review with Chris yesterday and... that... is... basically in DESIGNER'S hands now to implement it the way that Chris wants it, um... and... and so I think from a FEATURE standpoint there's just minor fixes on that one.

lol gently caress no. nobody is going to absorb or buy CIG/RSI/Star Citizen. Right now they have $175 million in liabilities. Anyone who buys them is taking on those obligations -- either finish the game of refund the money. You can't take over the company without taking over those obligations.

Exception: if CIG/RSI goes insolvent or bankrupt, then Coutts or Crytek or whoever they owe money to can take over while also ditching any responsibility for the crowdfund debt. But in that case they're just the first in line of the creditors, they're not taking over CIG/RSI as a going concern.


There is no savior for Star Citizen. They have a pile of poorly-integrated, mostly unfinished assets, but no game to speak of. I don't see any way to take the shitpile we can see as 3.0 into a finished product that can make back what you'd spend to do it. There's just too much stuff with negative value -- for example, if you take over and retain Foundry42 you're trying to fix the burnt and attritted workforce, which is bad. But if you just take the assets, you have to assemble a new team and spend months paying them just to comb through it all and figure out how to salvage something, which is also bad. Amazon isn't gonna touch this.

That they claim. Also, no idea about loans, investment money etc. Well placed sources have told me that according insiders who would know, they were past $250m and approaching $300M all told.

Man, those chucklefucks are a few raisins short of a fruitcake.

Now they want accountability? And how the gently caress are they going to get it, exactly? CIG has your money already, you dumb fucks. Jeez.

For over two loving years I kept telling you degenerates to seek financial accounability, instead you kept giving them money.

Go gently caress yourselves. I hope you keep giving them money so they can pay off CryTek, then loving fold anyway.

Well I'm with the youtube lawyer that says this will probably be settled out of court. The brilliant thing about it is that Crytek knows the one thing CIG/RSI can't take is discovery in an open court case. So they can really put the screws in and try for a bigger chunk of money than a normal out-of-court settlement would normally be in a case like this.

Dastardly, but running a scam with $175 million of other people's money is a great way to open yourself up to legal blackmail. It's not like they can go to a judge and request that all financial info gets sealed -- judge is gonna be like, "why can't you tell your 'investors' how their money got spent?"

Amazon doesn't figure at all in any of this, Amazon has no financial stake in Star Citizen and isn't responsible for CIG/RSI switching to Lumberyard when their contract said they had to use Cryengine.

I agree.

However, their problem is that they don't have the money to settle for what CryTek is asking. And that's a huge problem. Especially since CryTek, being a dev and publisher, knows that they can't bank on future promises because they know how that game is played, and that CIG is hosed anyway since neither game is coming to come out anyway.

Actually news broke earlier today on their forums because people in the game were getting requests to help stations that were being attacked and people started uploading videos where they arrived at destroyed stations to find Thargoid ships to fight.

In priority order I think Skadden is after:

2. Another high-profile scalp to further cement their reputation in this area of litigation
3. If Amazon gets involved (they won't), then see 1.

They probably care very little about their name being attached to legislation per se, only to the extent that it buffs up #2.

Maximum dollars... the most optimistic burn rate estimates etc suggest CIG has at most around 40-50 $million in reserves left. Reality is probaably much less. I don’t think Skadden is any more optimistic.
