The Titanic posted:I can’t imagine the trial will be anything but a slaughter of CIG unless they can get it taken out by some technicality or tiny caveat. The real barrier I see is Cry being able to prove that the licence was at a major discount, and that they are majorly up side down on this deal. It shouldn't be hard to prove, but we're still in the unknown. Plus who knows what the judge/jury will find. I just want discovery so I can rub myself raw. IncredibleIgloo posted:Leonard actually seems pretty smart. All of the sudden he has been thrust into a situation where he has an interested audience whose most well defined characteristic is their ability and desire to throw money into hopes and dreams. He makes the appropriate distinctions that what he says are his interpretations only, and he is not a specialist in the field. Then he feeds them hopes and dreams. He is just taking advantage of a good deal. This is afaik the same way he got his last laywery gig. I'm sure he was hoping (and still may be) to be brought on board as counsel for this.

Colostomy Bag posted:I'm the worst kind of lawyer. As the also equally worse kind of lawyer, I’d like to confirm this as true. In fact just the other day after another failed case I was talking to Colostomy Bag over lunch at McDonald’s because this is all we can afford in our failure. “Lost another one today,” I said around a French fry. “Same,” Colostomy Bag added, eating his fish sandwich and shaking it up and down vigorously. “I’m probably going to be disbarred, because I’m really loving bad at this,” I concluded with a sigh and a longing look at my .99 cent menu burger. Colostomy Bag leaned in close to me, and whispered, “I’m not even on the bar. I just put out ads in the newspaper and sometimes people respond and I go to court, and then I just get torn up by like the dumbest payout there. Like the other day somebody was all Miranda Rights! Blah blah and I was all dude, Miranda isn’t even one of the plaintiffs and I laughed and the judge wasn’t laughing and he threw me out and the bailiff hit me with my Transformers lunch box I used to keep my notes in on my way out.” I nodded, and said, “We’ll who’s Miranda and what’s that got to do with anything.” “I know right!” He said and resumed finishing his fish in silence.

From Derek's blog, http://dereksmart.com/2018/01/star-citizen-the-fall/ , 60x350=$21,000 for what may be some two man-days of work. That's less than they get in a similar amount of time, according to the funding tracker. I think this can mean two things: an indication how far off the tracker is from their real income by showing how much work they are willing to put in to receice $21,000, or that they hope that those 60 elected Citizens will donate considerably more to make it outweigh regular funding.

Christ that's the first time I've actually clicked one of those links. It's like scrolling through the thread's terrible afterbirth. Anyways. 60 people are giving CIG $21,000 to cover the cost of pizza and having their reactions and thoughts recorded for the purposes of producing promotional material for CIG. I'm reluctant to associate the income and outgo of that singular event against their day to day operations.

kw0134 posted:We have a date for the hearing but it should be pretty perfunctory. Please correct me if I’m wrong anyone (especially lawgoons) but it seems to me like discovery itself would be an annihilating fire that consumed what remains of Chris Roberts’ tarnished reputation and denied him safe harbor even in the “at least they tried” respite for posterity. Even assuming Roberts felt CIG might only be at risk of minor damages for contract breaches, that seems secondary to his potential reputational damage if things excavated via discovery entered the public record, for the reason recently mentioned by nnnotime: nnnotime posted:When presented with business and ethical challenges Croberts always appears to favor the low road: "The backers will never know".... Kotaku UK’s journalistic ‘discovery’ destroyed the false narrative propping up a Star Marine fiction and had Roberts looking flustered, foolish and more than a little fraudulent as it also put his past record of backer guidance into the harshest light possible. The same is true of Derek forcing Roberts public acknowledgement of his formerly hidden marriage to Sandi, a lie that told via constant acts of omission and one employees were coerced to support that looked sleazy, suspicious and ridiculous after exposure. I may be operating under simplistic assumptions. I assume the case clears the motion to dismiss and goes to court, and then the big question is simply “will Crytek settle or not?” The unnecessarily provocative testiness in CIG’s replies may serve short term PR benefits with backers but doesn’t seem like it does them any favors at all if the MTD fails and they’re facing an antagonized Crytek in court. What possible confidence might Chris and Ortwin have in being vindication by due process if the cost of justice requires them to endure a discovery process that could unearth so very much that they’ve done while assuming “the backers will never know”? Again, please correct if I’m misunderstanding the process side of this. The PR side seems pretty clear, and from that sense, “The backers must never know.”

I wonder how he proposes to solve the oracle problem. Especially in a realm where people are mad they can't steal other people's things forever. Also I wonder how he expects new players to have money with which to play the game. Oh wait he doesn't wonder any of this he is just an idiot.

It's mad.

Even assuming Roberts felt CIG might only be at risk of minor damages for contract breaches, that seems secondary to his potential reputational damage if things excavated via discovery entered the public record, for the reason recently mentioned by nnnotime: The answer lies in Chris Roberts irredeemable garbage soul, and Ortwin's blind greed. It's really that simple, and no more complicated than it needs to be. Chris Roberts thinks - no, he knows - that he's making a game. Similarly, Ortwin knows he's a mighty untouchable lawyer who equates making a demand on a conference call with unilateral acquiescence of said demands. Neither cares about anything else - they don't see anything else, and they don't understand anything else. Chris has been instructed to act as if the lawsuit is a foregone conclusion, and Ortwin is prepared to save his own skin if the game doesn't go his way. Discovery is "irrelevant" for similar reasons - Chris doesn't think he did anything wrong, and Ortwin won't be the guy directly responsible for the undead horde of financial skeletons discovery will reveal. This is nothing more than blindness and arrogance. To search for deeper meaning is pointless. Chris can't see what's in front of him, backers see things that aren't there, everyone else sees what is there and doesn't see what isn't. The courts are in the last category. It's unlikely the members of the first two will ever wake up.
