quote:We are aware of the Crytek complaint having been filed in the US District Court. CIG hasn’t used the CryEngine for quite some time since we switched to Amazon’s Lumberyard. This is a meritless lawsuit that we will defend vigorously against, including recovering from Crytek any costs incurred in this matter.

So I guess the Citizens waking up to the truth of being exploited and Crobbler bros being hacks & frauds is still a long way to come. Instead it will be a boring series of lawsuits? Although, I do have a recollection of someone calling it. CrazyTolradi posted:Whatever happened to Cymelion? Did he just vanish? Citizens don't simply up and vanish. They clip through floors out of a spaceship or through grounds into the mass of moons. They also maybe trapped forever into their wankpod since its doors are murderous.

D_Smart posted:I am semi-retired, remember? I just finished several online courses on day trading, so I'm going to be focusing on that after this poo poo-show. Plus I expect that I'm going to be busy with interviews, streams, my Star Citizen book (talking to Amazon Publishing and others atm) etc. Day trading? Don't do it. Unless you don't care about the money. Seriously. I've been on the inside of the financial sector, and the risk-reward balance is not in your favor. You need luck and a very special personality to prosper as a day trader. Just do "normal" investment instead, and have sensible stop-loss and hedging strategies.

Wow I thought CIG would at least spit out some Daikatana-level trash but it doesn't even look like that's going to happen. Seeing the shitzens do all these mental gymnastics is hilarious though.

Good morning thread  Sadly heavyweight gaming sites like pixelemonade.com don't seem to have picked up on the lawsuit yet, so here's a reminder of their previous scoop. http://www.pixelemonade.com/gaming/pc/star-citizen-3-0-release-date/ "If Star Citizen can stay on course as it has throughout 2016 then 2017 looks to be a promising year for not only the Star Citizen backers but PC gamers everywhere."

Just read about the suit. I think it's actually the best thing that could have happened to CIG, it's their Christmas miracle. I mean, they're getting 2 legitimate reasons to delay the game for at least a couple of years while playing the victim card. First is "we need time to deal with the suit (you just don't know how the legal system works" and the second is "we need to switch everything to another engine". You know that fans will absolutely buy this poo poo.

juggalo baby coffin posted:why the gently caress did they go with cryengine anyway? its infamously bad for performance Because C.R. didn't have the skills, people, or money to make an attractive kickstarter video. So the dudes at Crytek made one for him with the condition of using their engine. That's it.

Yes!!! Finally caught up with the threat. I was stuck at -15 pages from the end for hours, never managing to gain ground, but now it's done! Thanks for the laughs, this was a magical day.

Palpek posted:Just read about the suit. They would buy ANY poo poo. If the mockery that CIG calls 'game development' went on for another 50 years and ended in CIG just disappearing with all the money, the old grandpa Star Citizens would STILL shake their walking sticks and blame some obscure 'evil developer' or poo poo like that for why it never properly released and defend the alpha as the greatest game anyway until the end of time. This way, at least, poo poo is finally happening and it's far more entertaining. CrazyLoon fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Dec 14, 2017 |

What an incredible oddyssey this has been. I love you all.  I'm not remotely qualified or nearly intelligent enough to comment on the legal wranglings, but I did notice one little thing in the complaint that I found funny: Starting in Section D with #40, it mentions how Crytek was supposed to get code improvements back from CIG, but never received a "compilable version." That wording just strikes me as humorous, because it conveys (albeit presumably unintentionally; I'm guessing they never actually received anything) the impression that CIG provided garbage code that wasn't usable. It reminded me of the time AMD or somebody at E3 asked for their new sizzle reel, got a DVD with their old trailers on it, and when they inquired were told to take it or leave it (may have been the origin of the fabled AMD letter; this trainwreck has been ongoing for so long at this point that I've forgotten 90% of CIG's fuckups). Good stuff all around.

Beautiful! Seems like the echo-chamber that is the SC subreddit have unanimously decided that Crytek can suck a big fat one and CIG are just too ambitious for ANYONE to understand ya know?

I remember when the fanatics were fawning over the use of Cryengine by CIG because "it's still the best looking game engine, Crytek are geniuses, a space game using it is cutting edge" and now when the lawsuit dropped Crytek is apparently just some dying company with a worthless product. Cool.
