Would Crytek even take a $10 million settlement at this point? I know gently caress-all about law or how all this would fly in court, but my biased and worthless opinion is that Crytek + Skadden are just running circles around CIG.

What could Crytek expect to be awarded in damages by a jury if things go well for them?

Crytek's standard licensing terms at the time appear to be 20% royalties so if they'd not signed the GLA and instead just got a standard license they'd have been liable to pay $35 million dollars in royalties so loving lol $10 million would be a miracle.

Crytek might settle for complete liquidation of the company and all its assets, chapter 7 for all corporate officers with proceeds to Crytek, tubal ligation and vasectomies for the principals, demolition of their homes, salted earth and daily rubbing of all pain points.

Might.

Because they still got to pay Skadden. (Yeah yeah they get paid from CiG's accounts. Which are empty from countless airfare and vacation expenses.)

Yup. You settle at that point. They want to keep as much of that out of the public as possible.

Yes. But think about their side. When you start talking about punitive damages, supuenas, and we start getting into the $$$ wasted on cars, trips, etc etc. They still want to make a game ( I guess...$177 mil and still nothing) Who knows where it could lead. Essentially the trial is taking place right now with these motions and responses.

If we got people blowing airhorns at peoples' houses, instead of heavily armed SWAT teams arriving, that would be a wonderful development for online conflicts.

I'd be absolutely fascinated as to what Crytek would accept in settlement. It seems like CIG would have to liquidate to even meet their settlement demands - and frankly why should Crytek go easy on them given that they've raked in 170 million and wasted it all on stupid crap.

Yeah this looks like a bullshit response. Crytek gave some plausible complaints in the lawsuit, at first, without us knowing what was in the GLA. CIG responds to every point with good arguments and the actual text in the GLA pointing out what its a frivolous lawsuit

The counter response is reasserting the original claims that were completely shot down, without actually putting forth anything new or offering a rebuttal

Combined with how they initially tried to conceal the GLA to make it appear they had a viable argument, it seems pretty obvious this is just a cash grab. Their plan is likely to attempt to use the corrupt video game press and publicity to drag this lawsuit out and attempt to get them to settle
