Mne nravitsya posted:I can’t tell if your are trolling me, so I will go with assumption that you are not I was using an example from my home turf to show that no matter how dedicated you and me are to our trade, as long as we keep supporting erroneous business models that poo poo on the customer with our work, we are part of the problem. With regards to the happenings on the diesel market I personally made the choice to go away from engine design on the personal vehicle market and pursue a different career in vehicle engineering. I have no doubt that people in the video game industry are dedicated to their trade and love their work... But even for an outsider the industry has become a crooked abomination of the entertainment sector especially for AAA projects and I am no friend of Werner von Brauning your way with "well at least he loved what he was doing and gave it his best"

i have a lawyer pal who is a pretty dang legit bigwig and i told him about all this and he's interested in speaking to people about a potential consumer lawsuit. so i'd like to direct people to him who either have given up money to CIG or know a bunch of people who have. if i'm understanding the mechanics of this whole fiasco wrong forgive me as i am not myself a lawyer but it seems like a big class action filed against CIG once this piece of poo poo fails to get released as promised seems inevitable right? anyway I bought PMs specifically for this purpose for please PM me if you're interested

He won't succeed. Send him this first, before you start referring people. This way he can read the various TOS versions and see that there is an ironclad arbitration clause that he stands ZERO chance of getting around. http://dereksmart.com/forums/topic/star-citizen-tos/ ----------------

Beet Wagon posted:Yeah pretty much. I "care" about the lawsuit to the extent that it's funny and I like hearing "lol CIG's getting sued by Crytek" and I genuinely am not concerned with the day-to-day speculation about the next moves of the companies or legal firms involved. Some people are and that's fine, I'll let them hash it out. But it definitely doesn't seem worth having a slapfight over to me. I feel pretty much the same way about any of Derek's "calls" - like it just seems like such a weird hill to die on. To my mind the things worth really ribbing him over are the funny self-owns like the Leonard Skinly incident, and the only thing that's actually kind of legitimately "frustrating" is when he stops interacting with people and just copy/pastes his whole blog for fifteen posts in a row. Everything else is just the normal ebb and flow of the thread. I just hope it’s funny. Disney ending is the best ending too.

D_Smart posted:They are not using CryEngine pure any more. Neither is Amazon. At the time, weren't the Lumberyard enhancements very minimal AWS integration stuff? Based on chatter from my gamedev friends, it seemed that Lumberyard meat and potatoes were still CE (no idea of the status now) Edit: I remember thinking it was dumb at the time because it seemed like none of the AWS integration would actually be helpful and it was unlikely that they'd be able to integrate any future structural engine changes very easily. For better or for worse, if CIG's changes are extensive as they claim then they're basically a complete fork. ryde fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jan 4, 2018 |

There's an argument to be made that the clickwrap itself doesn't provide for sufficient ability to know when the terms have changed, and some people are effectively still covered by previous ToS, or using a browsewrap, which is inherently weaker as a claim, generally because the ability to force a scroll through the contract, then get an assent is slightly harder. What's got a wimple and had to code up a browsewrap in 1998 that allowed for a full scroll? <---- This guy. I'm not actually sure which I've clickwrapped in SC. I get so far with downloading the client and do something more fun, like digging a hole, or hitting myself in the head.

Also hear a lot about Amazon's work revealing a ton of slapdash code in CryEngine, and gamedev friends saying that CE is horrible in general.

There are lots of case law precedent which have defeated all of that. Which is why TOS and such are still upheld by every court that they enter and in which plaintiffs attempt to get them tossed in part or in whole. Particular, they don't stand a snowball in hell chance of getting the arbitration clause tossed, let alone the whole TOS in order to get around that. And it doesn't matter who read and agreed to what, or when, each has an arbitration clause in it. ----------------
