I don't care about the law stuff, it'll get funny on its own. What is currently tickling me is: CryTek made the entirety of the Kickstarter stuff that backers swooned over Backers now hate CryTek By extension they hate Star Citizen

I Greyhound posted:I've been involved in a few patent and civil liability suits, and those rarely go to trial, but they do often involve a lot of discovery and depositions and reports before they settle. A lot of the time, the two sides consider it worth going through those initial expenses to size up their chances, and also to try to get a better settlement, so it's not uncommon for settlements to be reached the day before the start of the full trial. Every insider should have seen this suit coming. These aren't obscure clauses like the infamous "bowl of M&Ms without any brown ones," these would go to the very heart of why there's a commercial relationship between the two parties. And at least on the allegations, everyone's seen that CIG has very loudly advertised what in retrospect is rather damning evidence. We're not testing the limits of IP law or needing to go on fishing expeditions through the parties' paper trail, Crytek is alleging that anyone with a pair of eyes would be seeing enormous breaches of the contract, things that are still happening to this day with the latest release of Bugsmashers. CIG, given some rope, crafted an elaborate noose with flashing LED lights and a pyre to burn the entire gallows in a fantastic display of light and sound. It's legal self immolation on a ridiculous level.

D_Smart posted:Yeah, I love it. I wish I knew who bought it. Whoever bought me that, please PM me so I can set a reminder to send a free autographed copy of the book. As much flak as we give your long blogs and general knack of producing a lot of words, I would definitely buy your book (hardback of course) and send it to you for a signature (generous and nice offer tbh), and I would read it and enjoy it.  I bet MoMa would too tbh.

Amazon already know it isn't using their stuff because they spent 6 weeks in there trying to help them migrate it. Now we learn from Derek CIG had been trying previously for a year on their own. Essentially CIG have tried to move it onto LY to cut Crytek out of the picture but hosed it all up. As it all becomes clearer you begin to understand just how last ditch desperate Chris was to get something built for kickstarter.

kw0134 posted:I think this case is truly sui generis. Leaving aside questions of copyright, on the contractual claims I don't think I've ever seen such blatant acts that gird the plaintiff's complaints so publicly. It takes major incompetence to cop to a material claim on the complaint in your first response to the media about the suit. maybe sandi can finally be the center of attention and the star of the show like she always wanted.

Ok, given the current situation how long is it going to take Amazon to do a quick cost/benefit analysis and tell CIG something along the lines of: "could you kindly stop referencing our engine in your product until such time it actually runs on it, thanks."?

Plus of course $. He hit the jackpot and saw Crytek failing and wanted out of the deal - so he picked up as many (devs) as he could and spent a full year trying to implement LY. Just like his management skills his ability to predict future events is shallow and myopic. Now he is hosed. loving sleazy.

When SC was first pitched their goal was to raise two million and then solicit a publisher to help them build the rest of the game. I wonder how much of the original contract was built around that goal.

The Titanic posted:The original demo for the game was built by CryTek. Chris Roberts couldn’t even build it because he had no talent or ability. He farmed it out to people who were capable of doing it. I don't think that you're right on that, the thing built by Crytek or with Crytek's assistance was trailers and pitch video stuff I think. IE this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhsgiliheP0&t=505s which is totally not a functional demo. All those cuts show evidence of being stitched together from bits that almost certainly couldn't have been played continuously. Working in engine, but all those transitions are loading a different chunk of game to work. You make a guy able to walk around on the ship, but that's a basic function of the game engine. Crytek took their art assets and stuck them in engine. Which is all totally normal for a pitch / concept presentation. You don't build anything more than you need to show the ideas and demonstrate the gameplay potential. It's a cartoon movie set with cardboard storefronts. The difference is that if you were a game studio pitching to a publisher, you don't pretend that your "vertical slice" is actually working gameplay.
