Apparently in this giant crazy clusterfuck some topics are beyond reproach. Foo Diddley is currently lying and telling everyone on the discord that I am a nazi sympathizer.

If the worm was the creation of a non-Crobberts it should be obvious why it is binned. The fact that the worm would have to be in a game, and no such game exists would also prelude the presence. The fact that worm is stolen from Dune, and Dune use thigh-pads to process urine and feces (at least in stillsuits on Arrakis) means that toilets are not needed so...

PC Invasion: Crytek hits back at CIG’s request to dismiss Star Citizen legal case __________________________ Posted By: Paul Younger January 19, 2018 The Crytek vs CIG Star Citizen court documents are still going back and forth, and following CIG’s request that this case is dismissed, Crytek’s lawyers have hit back with a response and it’s firey. This latest response from Crytek holds no punches and they have outlined clearly in this document why the court should not allow CIG to dismiss this case. The preliminary statement sums it up: quote:Defendant’s Motion seeking dismissal and other relief is without merit. Rather, that Motion is a blatant effort to impose delay and burden Crytek as it seels to vindicate its rights under its contract with Defendants and its copyrights. The full document is lengthy and goes into more detail citing more references to specific areas of contention with links to forum posts made by CIG and other cases that may set precedent for copyright infringement. Whether the court decides in favour of Crytek remains to be seen, but if this case is heard in court, it’s going to be one to watch because as more documents have appeared the more confusing it has become. At this stage, it is starting to look like there will be a fight in court which is not good news for CIG. It’s money that would be dripped away to lawyers and not into the game. Backers will not be pleased if this goes further. Dogeh posted:I made a thing. That’s her in the meltdown meme.

You know, I recently started re-reading Flight of the Intruder and while I think it's a stretch saying the entire Squadron 42 is ripped off from it, there are some startling similarities. Granted, "Squadron 42" is just as likely - if not more likely - to be blatant nerd pandering as/than it is to be someone ripping off a Stephen Coontz book from 1986, and calling a CO "Old Man" is a pretty common military trope, but if nothing else it really reinforces how lazy the writing and concepts for SQ42 are.

My take is that you're almost certainly correct on both counts. The number 42 is as much a cynical move as throwing random sandworms into a presentation. You get the nerds to clap like trained seals and maybe they give you money. The pathetic idea that it's there because it's Sandi's favorite number is about as pathetic as trying to wave off the coincidence of giving everyone a towel and "dont panic" galactic guides. I'm sure Flight of the Intruder and thematically similar works inspired Roberts the same way Das Boot inspired the Wing Commander movie. A true Archerial inspiration.

SomethingJones posted:PC Invasion pretty much saying that they'll be writing stuff about Space Court. Excellent. Paul Younger is fighting the good fight and Godspeed to him. These are such interesting times. Quietly and with few obvious tweening points, the last two years have seen a turnaround in consensus about crowdfunded gaming. Even when the story about a particular project isn’t about Star Citizen, it’s about Star Citizen. I know very little about Camelot Unchained or Mark Jacobs besides that it’s late. But man, what a refreshing thing to see a guy acknowledging “it’s late, backers SHOULD be mad, it’s on ME to deliver not them to forgive because Miyamoto-san / ‘muh Games Development’ / ‘Diablo 3 took 10 years’”. Maybe he’s a slicker con man but his tone is so starkly contrasted against the duplicitous, revisionist moneygrubbing of the Roberts and Garriott types out there. This guy is explicitly positioning himself to be on the right side of a future reckoning. The potential collapse of Star Citizen (and lesser giants) is clearly a big concern. EUROGAMER: Why the people behind crowdfunded Camelot Unchained won't sell spaceships or castles quote:"We are getting close to a tipping point…" Boy, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when he’s talking to his new CIG hire about these things... I’m tempted to back them just on principle, though at sword wielding fantasy game nerds. Real men play Space Games, amirite? Toops? Scruff? Hello? Guys? (taps mike) Is this thing on? But seriously good for him for at least talking the Lawful Good talk. It beats Chaotic Moronic Evil. G0RF fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jan 20, 2018 |
