Lol, a shitizen in the stream was adamant that Witcher 3 started development in 2009 despite Witcher 2 not releasing until 2011 and the developers themselves saying development started in 2011. Facts mean nothing to these people.

This lawsuit is like going to a wrestling match that you've been waiting all year to see but then you find out that someone might be parachuting a bear into the ring so now you're ultra hyped but if it doesn't work out you still get your original fun. It is exactly like that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw5N3ivfkds&t=1331s 2015 Chris: "So, what happens right now is when the game starts up it just looks up what you have on your web account, your RSI account, and says, 'oh he's got the Hornet and the Constellation and he's got this item' so it adds it to your account. But it's not particularly persistent, you change what you're wearing or change your load out, that's really not saved back to the database. We save it locally on a local XML file but that's a really short term solution. The real proper solution is changes to your state, changes to your ship, whatever. Whether it's getting old, dirty or broken, they get saved back out to your entry in the player database" lol. In my experience, short term solutions that get rolled out to 1000+ customers generally work 'good enough' and rarely get properly replaced. I'm sure someone could work up a short list of all the persistent stuff that works today and it would all work off the same short term solution they talked about in 2015.

In fact, if CIG is right, then the engine they switched to, Lumberyard, has been illegally acquired.. I have been questioning my own sanity in failing to see any viewpoint but the one you present. The previous Dallas/Whataburger/Exclusive conversation was melting my brain. If we correct the terms I would think it obvious that: CryTek(CryEngine) = Whataburger Dallas = CIG/RSI Exclusive = tane The earlier comparison fails because it assumes an unnamed agent seller, and exclusive right holder, in Dallas. In this case Dallas is CIG/RSI, and the earlier comparison fails to appreciate the the logical conclusion of that argument (once corrected) would mean that once Dallas has exclusive right to Whataburger no other city may sell Whataburger. This would be so obviously detrimental to Whataburger as to be wholly inconceivable. I could be missing something here, and I am all for the devils advocate, but why even pretend that the term exclusive is debatable. There is no scenario one could imagine where the practical reality of CIG's interpretation is remotely reasonable.

CIG defenders: "yeah we've got an exclusive right to use Cryengine" Judge: "if you did, why did you never attack any of the Cryengine licensees in the past 5 years" ? Amazon: "Actually Mr. Judge, we'd like to side up with Crytek on that matter. Otherwise our newly acquired Lumberyard engine is illegal".

How is Crytek supposed to prove to the court SQ42 was ever built in the CryEngine? Do they have to compel CIG to bring a computer to court and compile the code right in front of the jurors? Or can Crytek provide evidence from prior marketing materials or web content from CIG that SQ42 existed and was using Crytek assets prior to the alleged Lumberyard switchover? CIG could say, "We don't have any materials prior to X date since we didn't start building SQ42 until we started to use Lumberyard". I don't know how you would refute that except by compelling CIG to bring in their source code management system or have it examined by the plaintiffs, and CIG could have already wiped or hidden SQ42 development evidence by then. EDIT: Hmm, I wonder if Crytek has an emails or other exchanges with CIG prior to the Lumberyard switchover that would prove SQ42 was in development with the Crytek engine before then. Perhaps CIG emailed CryTek some SQ42 code they were having issues with. nnnotime fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jan 6, 2018 |

Aesaar posted:So either Crytek win, and CIG are hosed, or CIG win, and both CIG and Amazon lose their engine? Well, that's if they argue that "only us in the entire world have the rights to use Cryengine no matter the product". Which is completely stupid. Instead they're arguing that "only us in the entire world have the rights to use Cryengine [for Star citizen]". Which is equally stupid, but in a different way. Since they own the IP of SC in the first place. That line shouldn't even exist in the first place in that case, since it's standard copyright protection to say that nobody else can do anything with the product you own. So I'm at a loss, I'm not sure which one they're arguing, both make no sense to me. Only Crytek's version kind of makes sense, even if I agree it seems to lack a more explicit clause in the "restrictions" chapter. But at least it makes some sense. CIG arguments do not.
