Beet Wagon posted:The funny thing about the "I bet they got money from Amazon/Crytek/Jesus" fantasy is it doesn't even matter. Unless they received like another $200 million dollars no strings attached, they're still on borrowed time in the long run. Even the most optimistic redditors are still bracing themselves for another 3-5 years of development, and it's been years since they brought in more than they were spending on salaries and poo poo. Mr.Tophat posted:Consumer protections are two part protecting the customer from predatory practices, and protecting the customer from themselves. I'm absolutely allowed to laugh and pity people who can't protect themselves when it comes to falling for the stunning trap of buying a $1000 jpeg, and I am absolutely allowed to be gleeful as the predatory business falls victim to it's own mission statement that, "it's never been done before," as it devours itself in ever more ravenous bites. Scruffpuff posted:This isn't a Theranos situation where it seemed reasonable until you dug into the concept, this isn't the situation where that guy said he could make you breathe underwater with a nose clip that preyed on scientific ignorance, this isn't an investment scam where the average person just has no idea and relies on trust. CIG has been recording their scam on video and broadcasting it from the beginning. With every single red flag fully visible and waved proudly at all times. Scruffpuff posted:
Tinfoil Papercut posted:Imagine you live in the 1800's USA. You meet an old-timey salesman and gold prospector. He tells you that he knows about some land down California way which is rich with gold in the hills, and all the land can be purchased by you, right now. All you need to do is give him some few thousands to finance the sale and open the land up for commerce and mining. With the money, he promises to build a railroad track which will link the gold rich land to the east coast and is also going to populate the railroad with the best locomotives that can be designed with the days technology. Many people join in, excited about all the adventure and gold they will get. posted:It is fake in that they're selling a universe simulation with instances meshed within instances allowing for dozens of people to have FPS battles aboard capital ships that are fighting other capital ships all crewed by additional dozens of players and NPCs, a universe simulation where there are eight NPCs for every player all capable of fulfilling the same dozens of professions and roles, a universe simulation with one hundred solar systems at launch, and yet what they actually have after six years of development is a single large multiplayer map with rudimentary AI and shaky netcode. There is no universe, there is no MMO, they're hoping to figure out basic FPS AI soon and they just recently added simple moon surface mining in their seventh year of development.

I am constantly harassed simply because of a ship I have purchased to back the game. Numerous players come around my ship within minutes of me spawning it and make attempts to get inside it. They feel they are entitled. Through chat, they make demands that I open doors. I refuse. So then they start ramming my ship. Some have even made sexual and inappropriate remarks. Some refuse to leave after being asked to do so. I have been recording the incidents on video and in each case, reporting it to CIG. If I spawn something other than the ship that I am constantly harassed in, I have no problems in game. It is pretty much an everyday occurrence. What is the point of pledging for large and expensive ships if you have to deal with in-game harassment when you spawn the ship?

One indication is that they had/have a lot of tasks related to porting lua scripts to c++ (because lua scripted objects have some restrictions when it comes to networking, ones which are problematic in regards to performance and optimization).

Bayonnefrog posted:The MTD was granted on two of the biggest points: the "exclusive" argument that Crytek was making PLUS no punitive damages. Tinfoil Papercut posted:
dsmart on twitter posted:A key part of the "exclusivity" section that some people (apparently even Internet lawyers) are missing/ignoring is the judge's notes at the bottom of p11. TheAgent posted:wonder how skadden will deal with the punitive and exclusivity responses posted:We can only hope the lawyers involved on both sides are fans and end up spending at least some of their disposable income back on ships.

Well poo poo, 2/12 is more complete than SC, so I imagine the Citizens will be over the moon! I'm surprised by no punative damages. Though I imagine the fees plus $$$ for discovery-forensics will be bad enough. Hell, who are we kidding, CIG will go bust before this thing completes. lofi fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Aug 16, 2018 |

drat nice writeup of the legal action. Probably more like 10/4 to crytek due to no punitive damages being a big loss.

El Grillo posted:drat nice writeup of the legal action. You've still got statutory damages on copyright infringment and breach of contract, and I wouldn't entirely count out Skadden attempting to use discovery to proved intent, or otherwise argue that there was an attempt to damage Crytek. It's weak, but Skadden aren't first year students. Likewise the exclusivity thing isn't entirely done, depending on how they appeal.

August Set 5G0RF posted:I have a new video to share. Jobbo_Fett posted:http://staging.imperialnews.network/2016/07/reverse-the-verse-episode-104-summary/ posted:I know when I'm beat. What you said in the previous comment really hit home now that I've had a chance to think about it. I've been depressed for several years feeling that the world is a scam (from taxes wiping out what little I made to the way society is set up for the grind). Breetai posted:Starloop really is the first time that we've seen a True Believer publicly come to the realization that all of this is a scam in real time and react this way, and it throws into stark relief the argument that one goon (Beer) had with Sandi about their culpability in regards to the mental health of their fans. Yes, there's going to be lots of fans who rage against Goons and lots of fans who keep dreaming and lots of fans who turn on Crobberts when this falls over, but there's also the subset who see this as their only chance at meaningful existence and who will genuinely need suicide counseling when this is done. quote:1:27:00 'This is where I get nervous we're four years in, this is should have all been hashed out probably. For somebody who is I mean always always on top of everything, [Chris] does not let any poo poo go. For him to kind of make out as if like the team hosed up; I'm like "Dude you are running the poo poo so you should have known all this stuff!" I'm sorry I'm gonna have to call him out! You are running this poo poo, this is four years down the line you know what's going on, you don't let anybody sign a piece of paper or do anything without your say-so. So sorry this is all on you!' A Commando posted:tbh i feel like the creators of star citizen dont ever want to finish the game, the constant change of focus and constant updates for things they've updated 10 times already.. it seems like their vision is not a finished product but endlessly updating an unfinished game posted:If anything, it's become increasingly apparent that they can accomplish the things that they are touting, because they are steadily releasing them and at an accelerating pace. The Titanic posted:7 years of production: posted:Before I used to be able to get into my ship before the game would break and fling me into space. However, tonight I logged in and I have to say that CIG has really outdone themselves this time. Not only did I randomly die in the spawn room instantly for no reason, I couldn't even summon my ship to the landing pads. Sickening posted:Remember when this game was on the verge of running out of money? Any day now! Zaphod42 posted:"Its possible I set too high of expectations" EightAce posted:Right now the current standing on the Crytek lawsuit is being viewed as a small victory internally. Obviously its not great but it could have been so much worse. Most of the resources and effort is now focused on sq42. There is a game there and it looks fantastic ......but its about as much fun as having root canal surgery and it plays like poo poo. 2020 is the new internal deadline and if it gets missed then even Chris has conceded that its all over. I have no doubt that various internet warlords will say this is horse poo poo and CIG have a matter of days left and all the money is gone and everyone's going to prison etc but the fact is , something is getting released come hell or high water and it will be spectacularly rubbish. A Commando posted:shame cig will never take action against any of [the goons or Derek Smart] Beet Wagon posted:Patiently waiting for CIG to take action against me for *checks notes* not thinking their video game is very good. ==AtV has been about 10 mins long for about a month now== AtV (Around the Verse) is CIG’s main “What we are up to” video series and was cut to about 6-10 mins a week a while ago, previously 30-60 mins I think. CIG also has ‘community subscribers’ where you pay some amount of money a month which supposedly only goes to paying for video content. A Commando posted:im glad i stopped my sub and i feel for other people who sub. i used to sub for video content so while the new bonuses they have added is nice i dont give a poo poo being how short atv is now. up the content to 30 mins ffs posted:What new gameplay mechanics would you like to see ASAP? posted:The taboo subject of romantic and criminal erotic gameplay Othin posted:Mods please change my username to Criminal Erotic Gameplay posted:Hiding in a dark corner.

August Set 6Scruffpuff posted:It's not really accurate to say that the networking is broken, or the performance is bad, or the game is buggy, etc. - because in reality, there isn't enough code here for that to be true. Nothing is planned - they're still just tossing assets out there. Wise Learned Man posted:I don't know what's dumber: That they have a guy making up a fake progress report every week, or that they have a guy who literally walks over to a guy working on guns and asks how much he's done in the past week, and gets the response "uh, three percent." Scruffpuff posted:When I was a kid I had a toy car that went in a straight line. If it hit an obstacle, it stopped, backed up a while turning 90 degrees, then went forward again. It repeated this endlessly - go forward until you hit something, backup while turning, move forward until you hit something. It was a pointless toy for children who aren't terribly bright. PederP posted:But there's a very specific reason for the project being about keeping up appearances while raking in crowdfunding and pre-orders: The product they're claiming to make cannot be made. Even if the funding had been given to the best developers in the world with the best leadership at the helm, it could not be made. If they'd sold a project with a smaller, more feasible, scope, they would not have reached the current level of funding. tuo posted:Backer: Hello, I would like to register a refund! Scruffpuff posted:Backers seem to have a habit of stating things they have no knowledge of with full confidence that they're right. The thing is, I can play that game too. Example: "Star Citizen is poo poo." The difference is that I'm right and they're not. no_recall posted:Whats more engaging is the fact that Citizens do not want to know what happened to their money. And better yet discovery thereof will damage CIG! I don't understand the reasoning and logic behind this train of thought. If they wish obscurity from the company which they place their trust in by giving money, I am unsure how knowing the details of spent monies will in fact damage the reputation of the company, rather it should bolster the trust of backers (to back more). But in this case its CIG. Scruffpuff posted:"See that crater? You can fit all of Skyrim in that crater." quote:“I reckon they could finish off most of the tech with dodgy fixes that cause long time bugs”

==Crytek updates their filing==Daztek posted:Leagle Beagle Document Update Tokamak posted:*loads up /r/sc to find yet another lawsuit post* Scruffpuff posted:Many here believe that discovery will not be public, therefore our LOLs will be limited. To them I say: have you even been following this debacle? CIG is the uncontested champion of unforced errors. Can you imagine the kind of poo poo that's going to happen if discovery proceeds? We'll see daily patches as they scrub stolen art assets that still have the watermarks. We'll see constant code changes and frequent last-moment TOS changes. We'll be able to reverse-engineer, purely from observing CIG's panic-stricken actions, exactly what discovery is turning up. Jobbo_Fett posted:I don't see why anyone, especially that youtuber law guy, is getting so worked up about this. This is simply a decision on the motion to dismiss and no critical evidence has yet been provided and the judge is basically just looking at this to see if there is any merit. Once they go to court, CIG will wipe the floor with Skadden and Skadden will have to give CIG 100 billion dollars for wasting their time and stopping work/progress on Star Citizen and Squadron 42. Scruffpuff posted:with Chris Roberts "heading" the project, they had a practically limitless well of errors to draw from. Chris is interesting because he can fail in any direction. If this is what takes CIG down, it's both funny and sad, because this kind of thing could take any company down. CIG still had years of very special failures ahead of it. Tinfoil Papercut posted:Skadden: How's it going with that MTD ruling response Arps? PederP posted:I would be extremely surprised if they aren't still using CryEngine. This includes CryEngine tools (editor, server binaries, asset format converters/exporters) and source code. Looking at the various videos, the logfiles, the distributed game client files - everything I've seen points at the Lumberyard switch being a sham. Having this exposed would have disastrous consequences - one could say it would be the ELE. ==CIG responds== Daztek posted:
quote:Defendants Cloud Imperium Games Corp. and Roberts Space Industries Corp. Loxbourne posted:CIG's defence so far has been consistently to pound the table and bellow HOW DARE YOU. They're still doing it (HOW DARE YOU APPLY FOR DISCOVERY TO BEGIN BEFORE WE'VE APPLIED FOR ANOTHER MOTION TO DISMISS YOUR NEW PLEADINGS). They'll do it all the way, because it boosts Ortwin's ego.

August Set 7Nyast posted:CIG changed CryEngine so much ( 60-70% ) that it's now a completely different engine ( StarEngine ). Tinfoil Papercut posted:I like the narrative that CryTek needs CiGs modified code. Grubby Hobo posted:This is what keeps me from thinking that the Commandos are just people who want the game they were promised, and are imbued with a larger-than-usual amount of hope. The Titanic posted:Part of the fun of "assuming Chris Roberts is using my money on the game" is not finding out how the money has actually been spent. The reality is something people are very actively trying to avoid (along with CIG), because it will move aside one of the many curtains of mystery and faith. colonelwest posted:I think Chris' real ambition was to use SC to relaunch his Hollywood career. The only thing he's ever seemed to have wanted since the Wing Commander days is to be a Hollywood director, and he is stuck in the old video game industry mindset that movies are a superior medium to video games. You can see this in endless interviews where he waxes poetically of his days directing the WC movie, and how it would have been a masterpiece if only he had more time. It's why he set up shop in LA, an area so expensive that even giant publishers like EA have moved most of their operations elsewhere. It's also why he went on an obscene spending spree on mocaping A list actors. He thought by hobnobbing with Hollywood elite from the comfort of a flashy corporate headquarters he would get back into their good graces after being run out of town in the late 2000's. posted:Crytek Says CIG Must Give Them Credit. A Star Citizen Lawsuit Update Wise Learned Man posted:90 points. That post got 90 loving points. Yes, CryTek is being "petty" by asking for the contract CIG signed to be honored. They're looking for an "easy payday" by hiring one of the top-billing law firms in the world. It's especially egregious that they would dare to trouble a "former customer" (Vertisce has surely read the contract and has seen proof that CIG previously fulfilled all the requirements necessary to be released from it) with this "frivilous" [sic] suit. posted:This bodes well for Star Citizen. no_recall posted:YOUTUBE: Calling All Devs - Weapons at Rest Wise Learned Man posted:2019 is definitely gonna be Star Citizen's year.

That's AdzAdama, a seemingly true believer who expresses his adulation for Star Citizen through modern art; however the increasingly frequent depiction of Astro Boy/Mighty Atom (Adam~Atom I guess) and his inner conflict/outward expression of doubt perhaps signals a negative shift in the artist's attitudes toward the project as a whole
