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.

Sort of like how Star Citizen went into nuclear meltdown mode a long time ago on a news site far far away with 8 or more pages of Chris Roberts threatening to sue the poo poo out of a gaming website and hoping it would stick.

Not at all. If you go to the hospital and are in need of attention, but fail to disclose to your doctor that you went to Brazil 3 months ago and decided to go for a swim in the river, don't get mad at him for not figuring out why your dick was infested with parasites through normal diagnostics. I'm not saying Skadden did not do their due-diligence either - they're a firm that prides themselves on fact-finding. But going after a multi-million dollar company in hopes of a quick settlement definitely whets the appetite.

Crytek goes to court with a world-renown team of lawyers who literally write the book and the thing they are suing CIG for.

ITS A loving CASHGRAB



Meanwhile, CIG sells a tank that will not be released soon, for their planets that don't work, in a camouflage pattern they have yet to even begin coding into the game.

Watch it all come crashing down on his head and wonder why any of us gave him money in the first place.
I wouldn't get too excited about this lawsuit. I know Derek is standing atop his mountain screaming wrath and calling down thunder . But having spoken with some people involved and trying to be objective. I really think this will end in some sort of payout and then business as usual.
You don't need to look for ELE's just download 3.0 and try and play it.
We all know that CIG's incompetence is seemingly inexhaustible , if there are two paths to take and one says "danger do not go down this path" CIG will run down it flailing . Crytek are pretty good at shooting themselves in the Knackers as well and people seem to forget this. Even without CIG's help they managed to get themselves in a position where they couldn't pay anyone for three months !! and this wasn't just because a used car salesman in a toupee tried to make a terrible space game with their engine.

crytek is a horrible fuckin company that had it's last love from PC gaming nerds a decade ago. they shouted "this, this is what PC gaming is about" over the coil whine of their strained and cum stained video cards running a mediocre FPS at ultra settings

I can't think of a better company to sue chris "savior of pc gaming" roberts. even just thinking about it makes me loving lol

Crytek jumped on Chris's bandwagon in 2012 out of sheer desperation to have someone do something original with their jittery clunkyfuck fps engine and I will enjoy watching them gently caress each other over in court. Derek is all in on this lawsuit drama, and if it is settled before discovery with brown envelopes and multiple cheques from various shell companies (usual CIG style), Derek will be eating internet humble for the next ten years.

If Chris Roberts settles this it will be the first out of character thing he has done in 5 years, and it will be the most sensible decision CIG has ever taken. For that reason I fully expect them to not settle and it will go in front of the court as a matter of Chris's ego and to keep the fundraising running for another 6 months.
