thatguy posted:God when you think about it Chris was literally set up for success at every turn and just pissed it away. He got the money, fixed. Not to dismiss the grueling work of the devs working under Chris' boot. I know reworking jackets, fake demos, etc doesn't help bring out the best work; but I've seen very little from any of these studios that make me think they were at all capable of delivering the game as pitched on kickstarter. 'the cheap labor must flow' appears to be their hiring mantra and imo it shows. Mangoose posted:

Loved that little rw drive, mid engine MR-2. In winter I never had to move the steering wheel to make turns. Downside was I had to ask for people to push me out of the snow a fair bit - as big as a go cart and just a fun little car.

ManofManyAliases posted:Hrmmm: Of course it's a cash grab, it's a cash grab for breach of contract. You can't have one without the other. Crytek will be compensated for CIG breaching their contract. You guys shout 'cash grab' in the hope that it will stop folks from thinking about CIG breaching their contract, without those breaches no cash grab would be possible. Cause and effect, how the gently caress does it work. CIG caused this, make no mistake about that.

SomethingJones posted:I'd bet however that the vast majority of gamers reading the gaming sites who cover this won't read past the headline before dropping a snarky comment and moving on, it's just that now there'll be a greater number doing so. That's assuming they read gaming sites at all, that's why I continually see people asking about SC on reddit, when surely they should have a wealth of gaming site journalism to learn from, to say nothing of the astute and insightful comments from the wonderful SC community. What makes this observation pertinent is the degree to which the case gets general attention from beyond the gaming world, and the longer and dirtier the case, the more likely that will be. Mentioning large sums of money, explosive discovery and a jury trial should help that along, even if it only gets as far as the general computer/internet sites.

Preen Dog posted:Please tell me that is official concept art. This is, no joke, CIG’s early vision for a drink mixing mini-game that might engage those serving as Stewards on a fleet-whales Genesis Starliner. (I would include Stewardesses as a crew option but as we all know there are no female NPCs in the game yet.) You see Preen Dog, if you’re a player chartering flights between the three moons of Stanton, and eager to sit in a luxurious cushioned seat for 20 minutes of “look out the window, it’s SPACE!” gameplay, you just might find yourself eventually hunkering for a little cocktail to help take the edge off. At such a moment, you’ll just crane your head upward, use the Star Citizen interaction system to “CALL STEWARD”, and another player will race seatside to take your order. If you’re both using Faceware tech, you can LARP at maximum fidelity levels as you, the weary traveling Cargo Carrier, tell him, the dandily outfitted Steward, “Man, I really need a drink to take the edge off.” Then he will nod understandingly, wink knowingly, and reply sympathetically, “I have just the thing for a guy like you who needs to take the edge off.” Then he will turn, and move through Chris’s famed 5 stages of accelerating locomotion to the crew cabin. It is there he will engage in this game, and only with this context can you possibly appreciate just how vital such a mini-game will really be to the holistic ongoing adventure that is Chris Roberts’ Star Citizen.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:I'm confused: do we think CryTek does, or does not, have a strong case, here? I can't even come close to reading every post in here, but my skimming is showing a lot of people who seem to be coming to the conclusion that CIG is actually in the right. Is that correct, or did I just happen to skim the wrong posts, or what? I don't have the legal expertise to have an informed opinion on the strength of the case, but I would be very surprised if there is not a massive amount of dirt to be found during discovery. I also suspect CryTek is doing this for more than purely monetary gain. CIG has poached their staff, slagged off their engine, made wild claims of how they've almost rebuilt the entire engine, turned a core marketing investment/partnership into a reputation loss, and the list goes on. I really don't think this case can be thought about in simple of terms of right/wrong on contract details. This doesn't look like a carefully planned and executed siege to force a settlement. If the core is rotten, CryTek knows, and getting to discovery is enough to destroy CIG. Story metaphor time: CryTek and Skadden are the longboats in the horizon. CIG and subsidiaries are holed up in their Anglo-Saxon castles. We have some knowledge of the disposition of forces, but it's limited and the full confrontation may even be prevented. We know CryTek have been starving in their boats, we know the mighty strength of the mercenary Skadden, but how strong are those castle walls and what defenders do they hold? Meanwhile everyone is debating whether catapults are good siege weapons. It's annoying and mostly irrelevant. Are these the days of the ELE as prophesized by Derek Smart in his July Blog - or will it be two more weeks? Will the Amazon Emperor show up to save the day? Will Major Tom and his merry goons foil the Sheriff of Parpingham? Can CIG afford to pay the CryGeld to the Turko-Teutonic attackers? Can mere gold satisfy this blood feud? Is King Crobberts trying to work black magic with his outlandish gestures and strange speech? Has Arch-Priest Lesnick been exiled or is he feverishly working to hide the sacred Wing Commander relics before the inevitable sack? Is Ortwin a vampire or the tickler in black? Is he both? What's up with the clowns everywhere? Is Star Citizen good? Is the princess in another castle? Get a refund?

It’d be a stupid idea on a complete, well-made game, and then you have the CIG factor on top. How often do you gaze at a characters face whilst playing a video game anyway? How does the other player know they’re being stared at and shoukd commence gurning? When do they know to cease gurning?

AngusPodgorny posted:I also think the adulation of Skadden / denigration of CIG's counsel (even though I can't remember their name) is overboard, because it's entirely possible that Skadden can end up losing to them. Or end up with a drastically reduced case because of over-reaching. Back in December with their original suit, I honestly would've called that prediction quite implausible. But the part about over-reaching, sadly, seems more likely to me, now that they filed that amendment, in which they plan to prove CIG's willful intent to do this. Like...proving that CIG is incompetent and in breach of their contracts because of it, that'd be a super easy sell even at a jury trial - no loving doubt about it. Proving them to do this with the intent of fraud or such, though, is something that might legit work against Skadden, when CIG presents its usual bumbling self and if they can get a jury to believe that: "Awww...look at em, they don't know what they're doing, they couldn't possibly have intended any of this!" Which, honestly, isn't that unreasonable an argument to make. Then again, I don't understand lawsuit development really and am just looking for the laffs at the end of the day.
