Best case scenario is we get tiny things that people will speculate as to their meaning but I feel like people are expecting out of discovery like a bank statement from CIG that says they have like $12 left

Ortwin was attached to the lawsuit because he's been siphoning off cash from RSI to his managment company and that's the only way to get back that cash. Short of disgruntled Citizens going up to his door and asking for it back personally.

You've made this wank pod, Ortwin. And the door doesn't work so you're trapped in a hell of your own making. Might as well rub.

But isn't discovery just a bunch of highly indebted first-year associates toiling away in a windowless basement looking at emails, YouTube videos, phone records, and bank statements (being billed out at $75+/hour)?

It's not a Wikileaks dump to Drudgereport. There will be more leaks to be sure, but it will still be hearsay accounts of what people have seen, right?

It's funny because the prevailing opinion of Star Citizen in the FS2 modding community is pretty much the same as it is here.

Also he's the guy who wrote the tool used to port models into the game. Said tool is complete poo poo and it being poo poo is the driving force behind efforts to get the game to accept new file formats for models.

If discovery finds that CryEngine is still being used and the LY switch never happened, it doesn't need to be described in detail. Still going to be hilarious. Calling it.

Don't know, I dislike both the first generation Cayenne (boring design, the two sister cars Q7 and Touareg looked much better, but it had awesome interior) and the second generation (back looks loving bad). The new one is quite nice though, and finally fits into the Porsche design philosophy imo...then again, I ain't a Porsche fan anyway.

All I know that the first generation aged terribly when it comes to used-car-prices...at least in Germany, one can get them pretty cheap.

So the super best outcome for CIG is they ruthlessly screwed a partner that was absolutely critical for getting crowd funding going and gave them a sweet deal on a game engine but through happenstance and legal luck aren't found to be legally liable. That would be some victory worth celebrating.

There's no 500mil investment in Turkey. There's no extreme extra capital from assets sold at a fraction. What there is, however - is a company desperate to pay off the various workers suing them for unpaid wages. A company so desperate that they're even trying a hand at cryptocurrency, or selling off entire forks of their engine for a quick cash infusion. Instead, you get a company that is doing exactly what you do when you're flailing about and think you have an opportunity at quick cash while thinking you've been wronged by a business partner: you sue the gently caress out of them with everything you can possible think of and see if any of the poo poo sticks to the wall. I've seen this tactic with small business, with landlord/tennant disputes and with small construction jobs contracts. It looks and smells like a cash grab and hope for a settlement.

are you talking about CryTek, crytek, Crytek engine Inc, Cryengine, CryEngine, CryEngine Inc - You need to make sure you are talking about the correct company here.

Maybe, the front end is blurred out and the rims are different. Doesn't have the slope nose and the grill while blurred is prominent. I get where you are coming from but the chrome stripe behind the front tire makes me think (combined with the rims) is a Bimmer 6 series. Grand Coupe 4 door. 2015 probably.

Yeah, looks like a 6series, and going by the rims and the front, it looks like an Alpina. It's hard to buy a more expensive BMW, actually. The M6 used to be most expensive BMW, with only the Alpina topping it. (before the i8 took that spot for a short time regarding base price, but a well equipped M6 easily tops the i8 as you can't add that much to make an i8 more expensive)
