It's entirely possible. All she did was point out that an offhand reference to 2.4 wasn't enough, and she wasn't going to address the issue unless someone forced her to by doing it right. She'll let the parties come up with their arguments on whether "promote" includes "use" or whatever because it's their job, then she'll decide.

She did the same thing with an injunction, noted that Crytek hadn't formally asked for one, so she said she wasn't going to deal with it because she didn't have to. No real prediction on whether she'll grant or deny one, just that it's not her problem right now.

She sounds like my ex.

if they get an injunction its all goddamn over, that will be months and months and probably years of experts going over the codebase before there could be a determination

Or they could capitalize on the opportunity to announce that they are creating their own engine from scratch, so the game will release no matter the results of the lawsuit and buy themselves another 5-8 years of (maybe slightly reduced) cultist money.

The crobblers is pushing 50, so by UK life expectancy table he's around a 1 of 300 death ratio. There is a non negligeable chance he might sadly not see the release of his own magnus opus.

TheAgent posted:

its really bad because you cannot continue to produce any work while the injunction is in place -- so hands off the keyboard, crobbears

although they could continue to create jpgs and sell them, actually, since it could be argued they don't exist in-engine yet and were created with standard art tools that have nothing to do with cryengine code

This is actually a genuinely interesting legal question. Could CIG continue to produce and sell JPGs given (ahahaha) they're not in the game? It'd be a fun thing to argue!

Would come down to the wording of the injunction, probably. If Crytek put in a ban on promoting the game or "derivative works" into it. I'd laugh so long and hard to see CIG arguing this in court though - "Your honour, the JPG spaceships can't infringe anything because it's not like we're ever going to put them in or make them work!"

like if you seriously believe the dozen or so posters in here are so powerful we are able to manipulate optics on a company supposedly worth hundreds of millions, there's probably also some gay frogs trying to corrupt your local children with socialism on another SA subforum too

To be fair the overlap between the Alex Jones crowd and hardcore SC crowd seems prevalent enough that many might believe both.

SAsupport: Yes, umm, see PVP means penis vs. penis its a very involved algorithm involving a lot of very well crafted code.

Customer: I don't understand what this has to do with my game play

SAsupport: Well you see, he got his penis in you before you got your penis in him, must of had really good reflexes.

The first one is a reference to the song "Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage and features his favorite spaceship's gun raining shell casings. The suggestion being that he's only happy when his ship has that gun.

The second is referencing an Australian banking commercial where a bank teller scams her customers with subtle tricks like "no fees = know fees". She is taking Adz's favorite gun away from him as he wakes up from the dream depicted in the previous image.

Well, at least lord roberts didn’t bag on the VFX. He gaves us a completely unreasonable schedule, zero visual guidance or direction other then “approved” or “not approved”, and 20+ of us slept on floors around our desks 4-5 nights a week to try to make the schedule and monitor/queue shots on the render farm

I will credit him with bringing in catering chefs so we could eat once in a while, and I did make some life long friends from that terrible crunch experience.

And if you were in the special circle there were the occasional morale event nights to his favorite strip club and various other party shenanigans.

I don't have a reddit account myself, but from Mirificus' screenies I can't recall a shitizen hatepost/dreampost lower than like -12 or so, beyond a handful of extreme outliers. Or do these guys think all of their posts should have hundreds of upvotes, and the sinister goon cabal is ruining their reddit karma?

Imagine how upset B'Tak would be if he was ever the victim of criminal erotic gameplay in a PvP scenario.

Of course, in a PvE situation he'd be hoping that the NPC's were even more dangerous than real players. Super skilled NPC rapists is what the game needs.
