Derek if you can summon Twerp17 to court while you're at it that would appreciate that as I find him one of the more annoying US based ones.

Now that Montoya has forced my hand, I'm not going to spend time and resources on a single lawsuit, seeing as I've been working on this for months now. It's a complete mystery how /r/ds just closed up shop.

It's a dragnet. And I'm not going on a fishing trip. I have never - ever - walked into a court case I didn't prevail in, simply because I'm neither stupid, nor do I take them lightly.

I am just not going to wait any longer, even though complaints can be amended at any time, I've had it with these guys and their baseless accusations of my having committed crimes.

I doubt anyone could out hack CIG.

Also apparently you can move stuff around but it doesn't have any impact. It's like a disconnected display that you can still interact with. I can't even imagine the nightmare that is the backend of this thing.

This is amazing. Pay company to create vertical slice of working game, take millions of dollars based on what you just showed, fire original company and throw away their progress, keep taking money from morons who can't see the fraud you just perpetrated. Years later release "progress" demo that's worse than what the actual game development company created. Keep taking money. Never stop taking money; never create a game.

It just tells me that the game engine doesn't even know what the player character is. There's nothing more central to a game, especially first-person, than keeping track of the player. This game can't manage that. You can interface with poo poo from far away, can't use your own ship controls, get stuck on and/or pass through geometry, etc. It's a loving mess from the word go. Pac-Man designed by Chris Roberts wouldn't have pellets, a maze, or ghosts, just a disc janking randomly around a black screen. Oh, and the pixel would be blue.

My God, you're a very special kind of stupid. Your jabs aren't just annoying now, you're clearly off your meds. It's the third time this week you've called up dodgy Internet bullshit.

Let's try this again. Pay close attention.

"I have never - ever - walked into a court case I didn't prevail in"

The 3000AD v Dreamcatcher lawsuit wasn't just about shipping the game at a specific price point. It was about them shipping it, while not paying for the delivery milestone. As a matter of fact, my royalty comes from price at which the game would be sold. So I had every reason to prevent them from doing that.

The injunction was to prevent them doing it, ahead of the case going to trial.

The injunction (one of the most difficult court actions to win) wasn't granted because the judge determined that the economic loss|gain would be determined at trial, since it was all about money. See the judges DETAILED reasons for not granting it, even though he AGREES that I was contractually and legally RIGHT.

BONUS TIP: An injunction is not a lawsuit. It's PART of a lawsuit. See: Crytek v Star Citizen as a most recent example or see Zenimax v Oculus in which the judge declined their injunction on the same basis.

We settled the matter out of court less than weeks later after we found out that they badly needed the money, didn't have money to pay me etc and that they would lose because my contract was clear.

I got paid.

They went bankrupt.

I'm still here.

The rest is history.
