Can you be more specific? Not all of us have access to the arguments. I dimly suspected there was a point to all that because on the surface it looked like just denying on the technicalities.

In the section dismissing Crytek's arguments based on clause 2.1.2, (the definition of "exclusivity") the judge unusually adds in another paragraph saying she'll dismiss this but have they noticed this other argument Skadden could be raising based around clause 2.4 and a requirement for CIG not to use or promote a competing game engine. There's then an 11-line footnote pointing out how one might, say, draft an argument for breach of contract based entirely around clause 2.4 and have Crytek noticed that they can still amend their statements of case, hint hint. The text even notes how the definition of "exclusive" being adopted will support an argument founded on clause 2.4. It's incredibly unsubtle and upfront.

The end of the document then specifically grants leave to Crytek to amend their pleadings (which IS normal). But that giant paragraph of hints is really not normal, which is why I wonder why the judge is doing this.

That bit at the end with BoredGamer(?) or is it one of the others? I can't tell them apart, they all have facial hair! But yes, sooooo close to revelation. But they so often pull themselves back from the brink, usually when CIG releases a new JPG.

No that’s Twerk. I actually like him and think he’s one of the more honest streamers out there. Bored is more a YouTuber and despite his occasional “we need to be vigilant!” talk about keeping CIG honest, he’s in hock and effectively a part of their outsourced marketing apparatus.

Twerk is nothing like that. He’s pretty blunt and fairly often. He was against the currency cap lift, he’s frustrated as hell that CIG keeps pushing ship purchasing for credits in game out, and in the clip I included, he and Alysiana (and others in chat) were commiserating over how bad CIG has gotten this year at needling and mocking community concerns.

His longer point was that CIG LA seems to think the concerns are just from toxic whiner citizens. So Lando and others thumb their noses (same with Chris’s exasperation with F2P concerns.) But it’s not just trolls and whiners — it’s guys like Twerk who are four figures in already and want to support the game but not when the Studio makes stupid choices and they constantly do. When cig mocks or dismisses those concerns, it’s obviously pretty dispiriting.

Debris floats in space. Drifting closer, we see that the wreckage contains the remains from dozens of destroyed ships.

NARRATOR: He thought the battle was over.
A blinding spotlight sweeps through the scene, hunting …. searching. A moment later we see the source — a FRIGATE bristling with guns.

NARRATOR: He thought he was safe.
We push in towards one of the frigate’s turrets. A GUNNER is seated there, but they are not our destination. We move past them, and wind our way through the halls of the ship.

NARRATOR: But he wasn’t counting on a hunger this big. A craving this massive.
We arrive at the mess hall to find a crewman in a Navy-esque jumpsuit, DIETRICK, sitting at a table looking awfully hungry.

NARRATOR: All hands. Prepare to launch Torpedo Burrito’s newest devastating flavor-class.
Deitrick uses both hands to raise a huge steaming, perfectly grilled BURRITO into frame.

NARRATOR: Codename: Strog-N-Off.
Cut to a close up of glistening, deep roasted protein cubes sizzling in a hot pan.

NARRATOR: Rich and meaty high-grade roasted protein is encased in a decadent, creamy mushroom laden sauce …
A thick, cream sauce is ladled on top, spurting and bubbling like an irresistible cauldron.

NARRATOR: Before being drenched over a mound of springy spaetzle …
The protein and sauce are poured over a heaping pile of thin dumplings before a soft tortilla is used to impressively wrap the large quantity of food into a neat package.

NARRATOR: And wrapped in Torpedo Burrito’s signature size-4 multi-grain tortilla.
We go back to Deitrick just in time to see him take a huge bite from the burrito. His face is pure ecstasy.

NARRATOR: Making for one tasty assignment you’re gonna want to volunteer for.
Wiping the excess cream sauce from his face with the back of his hand, Deitrick dives back in for another huge bite.

NARRATOR: Torpedo Burrito’s New Strog-N-Off. Unleash a payload of flavor.

Famed sataball player ELSIE HESELTON stands on the bridge of her sprawling luxury-liner. She rests one hand on the back of an empty captain’s chair. As a woman of action, she prefers to stand. With a watchful eye, she supervises the ship as they sail through a light cloud cover towards a vibrant setting sun, a proud and contented smile on her face.

Turning to the camera, she says —

ELSIE: Hi there. I’m former pro-sataball league player Elsie Heselton. And as many of you know, when the heat was on during a match, I’d do whatever it took to get my team to the goal.
We see a few quick cuts of Elsie back in her prime: narrowly catching a pass, slamming hard into a blocker, spiraling off the perimeter to get into position, and scoring the game-winning point in the 2943 finals.

ELSIE: The same is true when it comes to keeping my family safe when we travel.
Inside Elsie’s on-board living quarters, she walks over to a large, secure weapons cabinet.

ELSIE: That’s why for personal protection, I turn to the brand trusted by security professionals across the Empire.
Elsie opens the cabinet, revealing a beautifully sleek weapon.

ELSIE: The Gemini F55 light machine gun.
Elsie picks up the gun, her strong arms flexing against the solid weight. Confidently, she checks the weapon over, its chrome highlights gleaming.

ELSIE: With a rate of fire that tops out at a thousand rounds per minute, I can overwhelm would-be attackers, ending conflicts almost as quickly as they start.
At a firing range, Elsie unleashes the F55 full might, decimating holo-targets. Then, in slow motion, we see a replay to get the full impact of just how fast this gun is.

ELISE: And just like my defenders cleared the way for me in the stadium, the F55 allows me to clear the way for my loved ones with suppressive fire, ensuring that they can safely retreat in an unexpected emergency.
Looking at the weapon close up, we get a sense of just how well built it is.

ELISE: And thanks to Gemini precision forging, the F55 guarantees power and speed with every squeeze of the trigger.
Back out on the bridge, Elise holds a sataball.

ELISE: Trust me, I know power and speed.
Elise winks to the camera.

The Gemini logo appears on screen with the tagline: The only line of defense you need.

We follow closely behind Allie as he winds his way through the narrow stalls: he warmly greets a wealthy ESSOSOULI, he pushes his way through a stall where dozens of weapons hang from the ceiling, and examines a small orb made of rings that separate and spin away.

Allie leads a group of excitedly gawking TOURISTS through the marketplace.

ALLIE: The first rule of trading here? There are no rules.
We see snippets of the group shopping in market: a MIDDLE-AGED MAN tries on strange hats, a YOUNG WOMAN draws a long edged kalta from its sheath, and an excited older COUPLE hugging and jumping up and down.

ALLIE: Talk about the deal of the century!
The camera pulls back and we fly over the market revealing just how mind-blowingly huge and sprawling it is.

I miss the prime Batgirl era. It produced one of very best archives of CIG staff interviews out there. There’s a lot of gold in there and it happened because she got the access and had a real deft touch with tricky questions. There is no other person in the Star Citizen “journalist” community who would just casually ask Sandi “how’s your acting career coming along?”

Erris and Bored and Noob and all the rest would not even go NEAR that subject, but Batgirl could throw those weird little curveballs gently and it made for the gold b-roll of future documentaries. CIG has been in a slow (overdue) retreat behind more and more curtains over the last year. But some of the best behind the curtain stuff we got we got from Batgirl.

I may be wrong my but my recollection is that it was rather Batgirl eagerness who came up with the comment on her own along the lines of “... but surely Ben by now you must have seen and played all the missions...”. To which Ben was forced to awkwardly smile and utter an imperceptible nod and confirmation. Or something like that.

That's always the big divide in Star Citizen: They imagine it as some grandiose project loved by millions, torn at by wolves of opportunity and fighting against waves of oppression by publishers, goons and now probably lawyers. That there are elite forces suppressing it, fighting it, at every turn from unleashing its technological marvels.

The reality is a lovely little Crysis mod and a weirdo cult then some other pretend "real development" cargo culting entwining them together like ivy growing over an abandoned house.
