So, I watched the CIG leaks thing on pornhub, I'm fully expecting my computer to now be ransomwared or something equally nasty. I'll have to admit, watching the leaks, well, not my proudest fap, but fap I did. Rude not to really.

My biggest confusion at this point is why so many people believe Amazon is going to ride into court and save the day. Correct me if I'm wrong but unless originally listed or amended to the original complaint Amazon has no standing in this case. It's not like their lawyers are going to charge into court, yell "OBJECTION" and then miraculously save the day. I guess they can file their own complaint but I see no benefit at all. At best CIG is simply a client using a couple of their services currently and not a very big one at that.

Because Star Citizen will make them millions upon millions by being a flagship Lumberyard title and also exposure and also and also something about twitch and the millions of millions of viewers they'll get there.

I read a while ago that someone had done a study into where ransomware/malware/nastyware originated, and the various porn sites were almost squeaky clean. The clickbait, content farms and sketchy banner networks were a much bigger source of internet-contracted digital infection. It's kinda like how everyone is semi-hysterical about hygiene when using a corporate restroom (which has very few bacteria), but happily use shared keyboards that are festering with fascinating diversity and quantity of pathogens. Not to speak of shared bowls of candy or nuts. It's highly likely there will be traces of urine, feces and semen from several individuals. Enjoy the snacks at the next company friday bar

It's possible for things like amicus curiae briefs to be filed, but they merely say that you have an interest in the case and would like to stick an oar in In this case Amazon has no dog in the fight. It's wishful thinking. It'll evolve to 'maybe Amazon will step in and buy CiG' at some point, and that *could* happen, but you don't buy at the top of the market.

I'm wondering how long it is until a band of spergs dress up as Advocacy officers and demand Crytek go away, in typical cringefest video form.

You must have missed the "Signed Affidavit" spergs were filling out, pinky-swearing that CryTek had nothing to do with their backing, it was Chris Roberts and his vision, therefore CIG's money wasn't caused by their working with CryEngine, so they owe CryTek nothing, ergo "Case Dismissed!" This was an actual, real "signed affidavit" that looked suspiciously like a Reddit post but I'm sure is ironclad in a lawsuit.

The clickbait, content farms and sketchy banner networks were a much bigger source of internet-contracted digital infection. I started off ensuring delivery of smut, and say what you will, the industry has a vested interest in keeping you cumming back for more. Seriously, our game was tight, it was people downloading hooky videos with dropware in the mkv containers that got it a bad name. That and the whole porn as a vector for malware emails. Currently the worst stuff out there are leveraged attacks on less scrupulous ad-serving farms, mainly because it's fairly easy to inject droppers via someone else's verified and cracked account. Hell, we accidentally served out several thousand impressions of malware when someone managed to slip some infected flash out a few years back. Different incident to the time when a bunch of editors were serving their own ads out....

monkeytek posted:My biggest confusion at this point is why so many people believe Amazon is going to ride into court and save the day. Because another tenet of the cult is that CIG is Mighty. Their beliefs tell them CIG will crush all opposition, that Crytek will be annihilated. It's curious to see just how quickly Crytek replaced Derek as the centre of the hatedom. Since CIG quite visibly isn't crushing all opposition right now, their dreams cast about and attach to any characters that might plausibly be big and powerful. So Ortwin becomes the God of IP Law, Chris must have Jeff Bezos on speed dial, and so forth. Anything that can be bolted into the narrative to provide a way to suggest the backers have massive and unstoppable friends because they're Big Important People. It's a power fantasy, basically. Their friend can beat up your friend. Your friend looks really big and scary, so think how amazingly big and scary our friend must be.

Slow_Moe posted:They probably assume that because CIG continuously use the term "partnership" about their business dealings. My wife came home in 2009 saying how the company that she worked for had entered a 'partnership' with a New York investment firm. I told her that they'd just been taken over. They started letting people go after a month or so. 'Partnership' is basically just 'we have an association', and you can usually go assume the worst, or they'd be more clear. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I don't think Amazon has sunk a penny into CIG. #metoo. Amazon doesn't play like that. They're really interested in being the guys owning the company store. Loxbourne posted:It's a power fantasy, basically. Their friend can beat up your friend. Your friend looks really big and scary, so think how amazingly big and scary our friend must be. Entirely. I have a similar one about Google rolling out fiber across the US, but at least it's a fantasy based partly in fact.

The amount of users who have legal binding contracts with Crytek and who have or are planning on switching to Lumberyard without resolving or renegotiating those contracts is probably so small (1) it's not even worth considering defending it on the basis that it will impact future users. Switching from CryEngine to Lumberyard is just one of the charges Crytek is making, there are other violations of the licensing agreement that they entered.

What I'm curious about is this claim that RSI "Bought out the Engine". Did RSI buy the complete engine and rights to it but Crytek is still holding them to the original terms of their GLA? What does RSI think they bought? Why doesn't Crytek think that they just flat out purchased the engine from them? Is RSI just talking out their asses or grossly mistaken about something and they never purchased the engine? (I believe that this is the most likely explanation)
