Ubik_Lives posted:My guess would be that CIG asked Crytek to send over support staff to help get them started. The GLA has a section where Crytek can help you with your modified code, but it's at their discretion, and it's a thousand euros per man-day. Sending a bunch of employees out on secondment would have been great for Crytek to bring in more cash, and for CIG to get some people with CryEngine experience. So CIG sets up a German office to dodge the travel and 4-star accommodation requirements, and then after a while, poaches the lot of them. Crytek gets upset at losing staff and the support money, and goes back their contractual obligation of only offering support on unmodified code. So nothing. Dont forget Crytek did embed a bunch of guys in the Austin office for a few months.

We're going to be adding content dynamically to the universe. I'm not interested in having yearly updates. We'll have a team of people that are adding content on a weekly, every two weeks basis. So you start in this system and start in this game, and it's got fifty star systems for instance... Two weeks in and a jump point is discovered for another system and someone navigates it, and bam we've got a 51st system... and so on. - Chris Roberts wow

Facebook Aunt posted:I've watched a fair bit of judge Judy, and she always says that when the terms of the contract are ambiguous it is interpreted in favor of the party who didn't write it. Not sure if that is a factor in big boy law, but who would that be in this case? The actual person who wrote it worked for crytek at the time but now works for cig? Vrytek because Ortwin and co erote it and then jumped ship to CIG

MinorInconvenience posted:When the lawsuit was originally filed, I said I wanted to see the whole GLA, because I thought CrySkadden looked like they were burying the lede a bit. And I think this is it. Yup. That's why it's so hilarious to me that people are focused on 2.1.2 which really is just exclusively (send help!) a Red Herring distraction. Then the brain trust (aka Ortwin) at CIG, have gone on the record saying they switched to LY. Without actually terminating (which they can't) the GLA as per 8.1-8.3 They're so hosed, I can't wait to read the upcoming Skadden rebuttal, as well as the judge's Feb 9 ruling on the MtD. ----------------

Is it normal to write things like "This action should never have been filed" in your response? That seems like something the judge might want to decide; like I understand these things need to lean somewhat on hyperbole but downright crass statements like that can't do much to support your argument.

Let us design three separate games using three separate teams (geographically/company-wise). We will not coordinate between them in any meaningful sense. When we go to integrate these together and the poo poo (obviously) hits the fan, we will blame the other guys. Oh, their poo poo is much better? It's still their fault. Wrong... scale? What the gently caress does the asset scale have to do with anything? What a loving no-issue. At worst it is a pain to fix, but it is not 'throw away and restart' painful. Not even nearly close. ALSO they made Star Marine for 500k in 6 months. And it looked completely generically okay.

EightAce posted: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. Unless you haven't been paying attention, given how fast this thread moves, I HAVE been saying that I don't see how this doesn't get settled, given the damaging bullshit that's going to come out during depositions and discovery. Crytek's rumored inability to pay some staff, is immaterial to the case, and has NO bearing on their attorney's competency in trying a case of breach of contract and IP infringement. It's not Crytek trying the case. They have high powered attorneys for that. So even if they were incompetent, it has NO relevance to the case - which is all about WRITTEN DOCUMENTS. And 3.0 was never my original definition of the E.L.E I declared back in April 2016. The E.L.E started during that period and has progressed (rippled effect) steadily since he went on the record saying that he couldn't build and deliver the full game. The fact that he acknowledged in April 2016 that he couldn't build the game as pitched, but that he was going to release an MVP, was my signal that the project was as good as dead. Then all the other parts started to fall into place to prove it. This included the 3.0 promised in Dec 2016, the LY engine switch, the ludicrous sales, the disastrous 3.0 release etc. Now we have the Crytek lawsuit, and something ever bigger than that brewing in the backdrop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJoHlCc4Y7E MVP @ 23:10 quote:10 for the Chairman: Episode 83 ----------------

SomethingJones posted: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. uhm why? It's not my lawsuit and I have no stake in it. I have always said several times that I just don't see how they don't settle this because the alternative is disastrous for CIG. And they spent a year screwing around with Crytek instead of settling because they likely didn't have the ballpark figure Crytek was asking for. Make no mistake, as per the filing, they are pissed that Crytek filed the lawsuit because win, lose or draw, it hurts them - and threatens to expose them. ----------------

Does the LY GLA have an obligation to maintain similar to the CryEngine one? There's nothing "primarily" about the wording (which is very specific). The wording is "collective" and "inclusive". Meaning, they can't do ANY of those things. At all. Here are the termination conditions. Since the GLA cannot be terminated "at will", well, therein lies the rub. It's in perpetuity. ---------------- D_Smart fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Jan 9, 2018 |

All this level of bluster does is show incredible professional rudeness to the other side's counsel - when you both know that you are paid advocates trying to present the best possible case for your clients. Rudeness does not make people want to believe you, which is a problem when your job is to be persuasive. This is why people have been assuming that Ortwin or Roberts dictated parts of the letter or gave instructions that a good press line was more important than the best possible legal defense - good lawyers just wouldn't have written that. e: well, a good lawyer might do that if they were a massive knob and wanted to bully a much smaller firm who were bringing a claim on shaky grounds, but that's not something you try to pull with Skadden.
