I asked my wife what that was, and she said, "Apparently this clinic gets a lot of patients from the Stimpire."  Does your wife work on one of those invigilation teams, by any chance?

I found a good post in the SC thread on the FD forums. It sums up how I think CryTek feel about CIG/RSI: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/396642-The-Star-Citizen-Thread-v8?p=6265762&viewfull=1#post6265762 quote:Yeah, more likely it's just money and protecting the value of their IP: CR burned them bad and basically spent years and millions of dollars marketing the fact that Crytek wasn't good enough to pull off cutting edge video games at a time when Crytek was going through a lot of trouble and really didn't need the additional shivs stuck in the ribs. An echo chamber of posts pointing out the limitations of CryEngine across dozens of sites with hundreds of pemutations of "well it's been changed so much it's StarEngine actually" has got to be infuriating. Quite a lot of backstabbing involved considering they worked with him when the rest of the industry laughed in his face at the idea of a new CR game. For what? To have their very name edited out, their flagship product demeaned, and their licensing agreements broken with smug indifference.

Defendants intentionally breached the GLA by using CryEngine to market, develop, and incentivize funding for more than one game, thereby enriching itself of millions of dollars without payment for such use. https://definitions.uslegal.com/i/intent-to-defraud/ Am I getting this right?

Skadden posted:Crytek is further entitled to recover from Defendants all of the gains, profits, and advantages they have obtained as a result of the infringement, and for disgorgement of any additional gains, profits, and advantages Defendants obtained that are attributable to their infringement of the CryEngine computer program in an amount to be proven at trial, together with attorneys' fees and costs pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §§ 504 and 505 I like this. I really do.

Ghostlight posted:No, they bought the rights to the engine outright rather than licensing it from Crytek. Which they could do because Crytek had bet their financial existence on reinvigorated interest in licensing their engine through the release of a massively popular space fighter game in 2015. They say hindsight is 20/20 but even in this case 2020 is a release date too soon.

CIG can finally say that the lawsuit happening is Which leads us to the prophetic fulfillment of The July Blog https://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/07/star-citizen-fps-module-delayed-by-weeks-not-months/ https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/271173/some-thoughts-on-concerns/p1 banditloaf posted:“I will say that we are talking about a delay of weeks and not months/years/decades. Certainly, I hope not to be pushing folks for weekly updates very soon. 🙂 (And to answer the inevitable question: why don’t we give an internal target date right now? Because the worry is that we might find ourselves in exactly the same position when the current set of issues are resolved. We’re at a point in the process where we believe we know exactly what to do.”

Update: just finished reading and while I could go through the effort of sourcing my quotes, there are just too many defensive nu-uh'ing that I went from giggling to cringing my face. I'm kind of disappointingly sad that I dropped this game before knowing all the drama, way back in the ol' days where me and my friend would drunk pretend to be the worst space pirates in the galaxy and yet still ended up pretty successful (at least for all that we had to go on). Also Vanguard is still unavailable??? I wanted that ship years ago but didn't want to buy an unplayable ship. Half a bullet dodged I guess???

Why though? might just be laywer trolling. file before Christmas in a jurisdiction that counts weekends and holidays. the accused has to work on a response ruining there holiday. then make a trivial amendment giving them a extra two weeks.

nnnotime posted:I don't know why the complaint was amended. But per Hav they won't have behind-the-door talks until the case is formally in motion. From Hav's prior posting: Hav is wrong. They have attorneys. I know this to be fact. Just because they haven't responded to the complaint, thus making public the law firm they hired, doesn't mean that they are not having discussions. They DO have legal counsel that's NOT Ortwin - who is a material witness to the lawsuit, seeing as he is named in it as a co-creator, but no longer with a career-ending conflict-of-interest claim hanging over his head. For one thing, as per sources, Ortwin found an old waiver which was enough to satisfy Skadden that no conflict (on Ortwin's part) existed. He passed it along. Thus prompting that section being removed from the complaint. Though it could have been addressed in the answer to the complaint anyway. For a shark firm like Skadden to give them an additional  Two Weeks grace period when RSI/CIG could simply have addressed the conflict issue in the complaint to me means two things:During discussions, investigations since the 12/12/17 filing... 1) new things came to light. To wit: the sprinkling of intentionally in the filings indicates that Skadden is of the opinion that RSI/CIG knew they were breaching what they were accused of, but did it anyway. This is very troubling, and is a HUGE Red flag. 2) the talks which broke down between RSI/CIG and Crytek this past year thus leading to the lawsuit filing, resumed when the lawsuit was filed. So with powerful lawyers in the mix, Crytek has more teeth to enforce what it is they were asking for this past year of going back and forth. So yeah, they are definitely talking. And if they settle the matter within the next 14 days, their response would be either a brief one to say the matter is settled, or they deny the whole thing in toto, then file the notice that the matter is settled. At this point, and from what I am hearing, I have no reason to believe that it will settle. At least not within the next 14 days. ----------------

DapperDon posted:Until the case is over, there is nothing that stops the two parties from private communication or negotiations. It's just a time/money suck to do so until it's time for forced mediation before trial. There’s also prejudice because any conversations are sub judacae. If you walk into a meeting and the other side has counsel, walk out and seek representation. Not quoting Derek’s bit entirely because i’m on an ipad, but yes, they have legal representation, but they need to answer the complaint, and i’m working on what we know rather than the skinny from inside. The ‘waiver’ for example, should be submitted. We’re still waiting on a response, and there’s speculation. Derek has been right where i’ve been wrong before, but he’s also fluffed court procedure. Also, I retain legal services. Mainly because healthcare in the US required a push everytime my kid needed care that the standard services allowed for. It’s not very sexy. But this assumption that the experiences of other people are somehow invalid is the same poo poo that citizens do about the sheer technical experience we have.
