Every actual lawyer I've seen who's weighed in on this has said that Crytek's case is kinda flimsy, and that the GLA is weak. This includes Leonard French, YouTube Law, and two guys in Reddit who did actual analysis.

This thread honestly deflects reality as well as t_d. If an event or fact doesn't line up with what you want to believe, then everyone who's saying as much must be wrong, right?

It's honestly pathetic to see. This thread is a lot more fun when SA is acting as the rationale audience, not the group that wants to see this fall so badly they make poo poo up.

Star Citizen is still enough of a disaster that you don't need to fabricate incompetence.

In den letzten 500 Jahren hat der Fourth Stimpire vier Systeme dominiert, die er zu einer Sternzone, der Stimsis, zusammengeführt hat. Der vierte Stinktier stammt aus dem Zehn-Reichskrieg, in dem sich die Vereinigten Schimpansen gegen jede Regel auflehnten. Alle Imperien, mit Ausnahme der vierten, schworen ihren Bürgern Freiheit. Es gibt keine freien Reden im vierten Stimpire und alle selbstkontrollierten Verfahren, bei denen die Arterien ohne Schmerzen durchtrennt werden und ausschließlich mit Maschinen operiert werden. Die Art, wie sie arbeiten, ist so hygienisch und gesund wie möglich, aber diese Maschinen tun dies oft nicht. Das Herz wird dann aus dem Körper entnommen und in eine Glasschleifmaschine gegeben. Verschiedene Energiezentren werden ebenfalls seziert und durch gefährliche Transplantate ersetzt. Nach dem schmerzhaften, 52-stündigen chirurgischen Eingriff wird der Patient bis zum Scheitern behandelt. Das Brot, das sie verursacht haben, ist so schlimm, dass das Opfer in einer Position einfrieren würde. Sie würden dann zusammenbrechen.

Sexuelle Stimulation im Gesicht des Körpers des Patienten ist normalerweise verboten. Sie würden im Mutterleib eine Lösung finden, bis die Nähte platzen. Die Täter würden auch gezwungen sein, ihre Arbeit in der Öffentlichkeit zu zeigen, und sie würden sie immer gegen ihren Willen belästigen und schlagen.

Sonst wäre die schlimmste Art von Elektrizität im systematischen Bezirk, so sehr, dass das Opfer im Wahnsinn schreien und herumwirbeln würde. Das Brot würde auch jede Sekunde ausgegeben werden. Dies wird auch im Kampf gegen gegnerische Einheiten verwendet, weshalb alle Kräfte den verbesserten Anzug zu diesem Zweck tragen müssen.

Es ist jedoch auch in EUE-Gründen fragwürdig. Sportveranstaltungen mit der Verlierermannschaft, die mit Live-Fernsehen gedreht werden, wobei den Verlierern die Hände aus den Händen genommen werden, zur Unterhaltung. Die Menschen werden auch in diese Ereignisse hineingezwungen, wodurch sie nicht in der Lage sind, auf das Problem zu hören. Dies alles dient zur Unterhaltung, und wer während der sportlichen Zeiten nichts davon sieht und um das Siegerteam jubelt, wird in galaktischen Lagern gefangen gehalten.

Snuff-Filme werden auch ausgestrahlt, und Schauspieler werden tatsächlich nur zur Unterhaltung ermordet. Heimlichkeitsdroiden führen diese gedrängten Schauspieler auch genau so, wie es die Träume des Regisseurs sind, sonst werden sie bestraft, indem man sie in den Mund nimmt und ihre Hinrichtung in den Film schreibt. Jeder Film, der nicht auf die groteskste Art und Weise ausgeführt werden kann - Vivisektion.

Alle Ausführungen werden gesendet, und jeder, der selbst durch Blinken eine Millisekunde verfehlt, wird ausgeführt. Alle Bürger müssen hingerichtet werden, und die Familie muss in die Ewigkeit geführt werden, was für immer Schmerzen verursacht, sie unmoralisch macht, aber das Brot in jeder Millisekunde verzehnfacht. Sie können nicht ausgehen, aber sie werden sich für immer so fühlen.

Die Eroberungen dieses Schimpansen in der Welt werden dem Erdboden gleichgemacht, und alle Bürger werden auf dieselbe Weise hingerichtet wie ihre Bürger. Der Planet ist jetzt zerstört und Reste davon sind entfernt, und jegliche Erinnerung daran wird sofort von zivilen Geistern gelöscht werden. Menschen, die auch aus den Erinnerungen ausgelöscht werden, und alle Erinnerungen an die Welt, einschließlich Spielzeug und Bilder, werden zerstört.

Gefangene erleiden 40.000 Jahre unerbittlicher und endloser Arbeit, und wer nicht nachgiebig ist, wird zur Ewigkeitsspritze verurteilt. Alle Gefangenen, die mit Schlaflosigkeit injiziert wurden, werden in Kapseln gesetzt und dann bis zum Weltraum geöffnet, dann wird der Raum fest verschlossen, um maximalen Wahnsinn zu gewährleisten. Einige Gefangene werden auch auf die Entfernung von Blut, die Lunge, die Leber, das Skelett, die Muskeln, die Augen und sogar die Injektion von Druck hingewiesen. Gefangene zu Bluthochdruck verurteilt. Die Dekompression wird dann gestoppt, um sicherzustellen, dass sie aufgeblasen und unbequem sind.

Kinder, die am 14. Juli geboren sind, müssen ihr Skelett entfernen und ein Implantat aus einer Silberflüssigkeit als Ersatz bekommen. Das Nervensystem wird auch verschiedenen Teilen der Welt verabreicht.

Restaurants dienen auch dazu, zu einem fettigen Essen serviert zu werden. Sie werden lebendig gekocht, extremem Brot ausgesetzt und dann industriellen Mühlen und Mixern unterzogen. Der Schimpansenbefehl befiehlt täglich mindestens 1 Million Bürger zu entsenden, da die Bevölkerung sie vielleicht stürzen kann. Aber nur ein Planet wird gepflegt, er trinkt, redet, benutzt Technologie, berührt irgendjemanden, trägt unautorisierte Kleidung, berührt Gebäude oder läuft zentimeterweit von ausgewiesenen Straßen ab. Sie sind so konstruiert, dass sie 40 Mal größer sind als die 300 Billiarden Einwohner. Mindestens 7 Milliarden alle 12 Stunden unter dieser Regel.

Gedanken werden ebenfalls untersucht, und jeder, der nicht denkt, dass er den Stimpire mit mehr als seinen Fähigkeiten beneidet, wird zu einem Gefängnis verurteilt. Gefangene, die für diesen Verstoß bestraft werden, werden es nur vermeiden können. Dann werden alle Flüssigkeiten schmerzhaft extrahiert, was zu permanenten Irritationen führt. Die unbekannte Substanz hält das Thema normal, außer dass sie niemals sterben werden. Gefangene, die auf diese Weise bestraft werden, können trotz vieler Bemühungen nicht zurückgewiesen werden, und sie können nicht entsorgt werden.

Die widerlichen Wahrheiten wurden erst heute enthüllt, und Invigationsteams untersuchen immer noch die Wahrheiten, ohne den galaktischen Raum dieses widerlichen Imperiums zu betreten.

E:For the past 500 years Fourth Stimpire dominated four systems. It is integrated into one star zone, Stimsis. The fourth Stimpire is the origin of Ten Empire War, where ten Stimpires contradict each rule. Every empire except the fourth empire pledged freedom to citizens. The fourth Stimpire has no free speech, all self-regulation transportation is illegal without taking painless medical verification methods that operate completely on the machine without pain without pain

Over the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, merging it into a star zone, the Stimsis. The fourth skunk comes from the Ten Reich War, in which the United Chimpanzees rebelled against any rule. All empires, with the exception of the fourth, swore freedom to their citizens. There are no free speeches in the 4th Stimpire and all self-controlled procedures in which the arteries are severed without pain and operated exclusively with machines. The way they work is as hygienic and healthy as possible, but these machines often do not. The heart is then removed from the body and placed in a glass grinding machine. Different energy centers are also dissected and replaced by dangerous grafts. After the painful, A 52-hour surgical procedure will treat the patient until failure. The bread they caused is so bad that the victim would freeze in one position. They would then collapse.

Sexual stimulation on the face of the patient's body is usually prohibited. They would find a solution in the womb until the sutures burst. The perpetrators would also be forced to show their work in public, and they would always harass and beat them against their will.

Otherwise, the worst kind of electricity would be in the systematic district, so much so that the victim would scream in madness and spin around. The bread would also be spent every second. This is also used in the fight against enemy units, which is why all forces must wear the improved suit for this purpose.

However, it is also questionable on EUE grounds. Sports events with the loser team being filmed with live television, with the losers' hands taken out of their hands for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, which makes them unable to listen to the problem. All this is for entertainment, and those who do not see it during sporting periods and cheer for the winning team are being held in galactic camps.

Snuff movies are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids lead these crowded actors exactly as the director's dreams are, otherwise they are punished by putting them in their mouths and writing their execution in the film. Any film that can not be performed in the most grotesque way - vivisection.

All executions are sent, and anyone who misses even one millisecond by flashing will be executed. All citizens must be executed, and the family must be led into eternity, which causes pain forever, makes them immoral, but increases the bread tenfold every millisecond. They can not go out, but they will feel that way forever.

The conquests of this chimpanzee in the world are razed to the ground, and all citizens are executed in the same way as their citizens. The planet is now destroyed and remnants of it are gone, and any memory of it will be immediately erased by civil spirits. People who are also wiped out of memories, and all memories of the world, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners suffer 40,000 years of relentless and endless work, and those who are not compliant are sentenced to eternity. All prisoners injected with insomnia are placed in capsules and then opened to outer space, then the space is tightly closed to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also warned about the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to hypertension. The decompression is then stopped to ensure that they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July have to remove their skeleton and get a silver liquid implant as a replacement. The nervous system is also administered to different parts of the world.

Restaurants also serve to be served to a greasy meal. They are cooked alive, exposed to extreme bread and then subjected to industrial mills and mixers. The Chimpanzee Order orders at least 1 million citizens a day to send as the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, it drinks, talks, uses technology, touches anyone, wears unauthorized clothing, touches buildings, or runs away from designated roads. They are designed to be 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion inhabitants. At least 7 billion every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also being studied, and anyone who does not think he envies the Stimpire with more than his abilities will be sentenced to prison. Prisoners who are being punished for this offense will only be able to avoid it. Then all fluids are painfully extracted, resulting in permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject normal except that it will never die. Prisoners who are being punished in this way can not be rejected, despite much effort, and they can not be disposed of.

The disgusting truths have just been revealed today, and invigation teams are still investigating the truths without entering the galactic space of this disgusting empire.

It's my opinion that just like we should continue to avoid "pay 2 win" design choices, we should also avoid "time 2 win" design choices. There's a middle ground and we're nowhere near it. Currently to be a "top player" you are required to get around 1 million XP per hour.

So I'm not wasting my time competing with people that have more time than I'll ever have.

  • Dinner with Lord and Lady British and other Golden Castle owners at their home Britannia Manor in New York City (travel expenses not included)

an entire player owned town with 524 lots

each lot is around $85. I mean holy poo poo. holy loving poo poo that's almost $45,000 in housing. the estimated total spend for him on this game is something like $100,000 to $125,000 and he's just now complaining about p2w mechanics, lol

I think the burning hatred of WoW and all other games in that category you hear from SC or SOTA usually stems from people who hate the lack of the ability to pay for respect.

They deny it's pay to win because they argue the housing etc. doesn't give you in-game combat advantages. They don't want time to win either because someone with more time than they have can get better than they are.

It's literally their deepest need to have a permanent elite class that they paid to be a member of. Purchased esteem that can never be achieved by anyone else no matter how much time they spend.

I can't imagine what these people's lives are like.

Sounds mostly accurate, but I still think those dates are super super conservative. In 8 years you may be getting close to something like a rough “beta-like” state of the product.

The problem with this is as the unknown dev says, it’s going to take a constant influx of money like they were seeing a year ago. People will need to continue to pay for nothing now, and in high volumes and amounts, for the possibility that at some point over the next 10 year span something somewhat resembling the dream will happen.

To even get to that point though, hilarious amounts of corners and edges and ideas will be sacrificed and cut like Sandi’s parts on a cutting room floor.

I think the notable part of that is how many people consider PGI something of a joke due to issues with the MW:O rollout and also stuff like Transverse. Plenty of guys could make Star Citizen better than CIG, sure. But when you really start comparing things and realize PGI achieved poo poo like the clantech and civil war rollouts in the time it took for CIG to refactor the Constellation a third time it's kind of telling.

Funny as it was at the time, in retrospect I'm a little sad that Transverse was such a nonstarter. How hilarious would it be if a game pitch so slapdash that it listed space flight and space combat as stretch goals was to piggyback off SC's fundraising success and actually make it to market with a real game before CIG has anything resembling one?
