Googling lawyer butt to find joke material turned out to be severely disappointing.

Derek won't be able to publish his magnum opus until G0RF writes his.

I dunno if that even checks out This poo poo never stops being funny. Backer funds project for CIG. Then CIG makes poo poo in China for cheap using backer money. CIG Sells poo poo back to backer at a profit. Pledge moah! ----------------

Hahaha. Well sure CIG could bite the bullet and pay to ship a couple pallets to a distribution point in the US but probably better to offload $60,000 in collective individual shipping costs to the backers.

I know you won't hear the end of it, but I gotta tell ya, you're much better off than most people when it comes to this scam. Hopefully you can't believe it because that's not what happened. But I'm glad to be out regardless.

One common defense I keep hearing from SC fans is that Cryengine proved to not contain all the features required to realize Chris's vision, therefore it was inadequate, therefore Crytek failed their obligations and it is fair that Chris seeked another engine. I would like to remind those people that the contract was signed on the 20th of november 2012, well before the scope increase, the plans to integrate planetary technology and the 1001 new things. If one signs a contract to license Cryengine to do X, you can't blame Crytek for not achieving X + Y, that's just common sense.

That would assume that CIG is around long enough to handle distribution. Safer to just have people pay to get it directly from China.

The game is amazing, looks amazing, plays amazing and is executed flawlessly. The engine is garbage and nothing works because of Crytek.

However my butt lawyer is whispering that it seems like if you charge for shipping pocketing that money might be a no no? Disregard all of my posts on international shipping logistics. I don't know anything about anything and I don't want someone to quote me and say the thread is bad again. I don't need that blood on my hands.

Golli posted:It may well turn out to be a matter for state bar discipline - a lot depends on things we don't know. Not really. It's not within the scope of the lawsuit and you need actual complaints to trigger an ethics investigation, which can lead to being disbarred. It took Jack Thompson multiple contempt judgements, plus being a dick to get disbarred. Skadden threw that in there to reinforce their case. Toops posted:kay.

I'm going to immediately sacrifice what little nerd cred I had by saying that I enjoyed the new Star Wars. It was very pretty at any rate. Lots of nice cinematography of beautiful environments. No spaceship tractors, though, so it still has to bow before the true king of sci-fi cinema.

AP posted:Things that are funny 4 years later. The last letter hinted at the $65 million stretch goal: a revamp of our modular ship design drawn directly from player feedback. As Star Citizen stands today, the ships are extremely customizable. You can switch engines, thrusters, guns, missiles, turrets, sensor suites, scanners, cargo pods and some interior ‘seats’ (and much more.) Starting with 1.0, we’ve added the first iteration of the technology for a paint system that will allow us to create promised skins and ultimately let you alter your ship’s exterior appearance. For 1.0 it is used to handle the various paintjobs for the variants. But longer term this will allow us to give everyone the skins they have backed for and ultimately this system will allow for some user generated paintjobs!

Golli posted:Re: Ortwin (and Carl Jones) being named in the complaint. My thoughts exactly. Those two are included to at least draw an inference CIG was getting very favorable terms. It is also to demonstrate that CIG knew what the terms were when it breached due to the negotiators on both sides working for CIG at the time of the breach.

Palpek posted:lmfao, next thing you know twitter basement dwellers will discover how much an office renovation costs. There are a lot of things to hate about CIG but a cost of a nice espresso machine at a 200+ people office isn't one of them. My company’s gross revenue is 8 figures, we make >40% margins, and we have a dinky Krups you could get at Macy’s for 50 bux on sale, and it works fine. CIG’s espresso machine is symbol of Chris Robert’s delusional world view and his garish sense of self. This kind of premature extravagance just screams “Mission Accomplished.” Star Citizen was never really about making a game, it’s a parable of vanity.
