My sources say that CIG may have to go to court, something to do with Crytek. I'll be posting more soon.

Such a load of poo poo. Confirming what? That for 3 years, you guys spew poo poo about the comings and goings of CIG and they're still able to pull in 170m+, still running their business - still going?

Haha look at this assclown. I posted about this in my last blog, which you can also read on my tweets, and I posted it in Discord for everyone to see again. Wait til you see what's next. Just wait. Wait for it. Just wait for these assclowns to see what comes next.

e:
seriously though, you're right about one thing. It's been like 3 years. And there's no game. And if you think boatloads of money is a solution to every problem, I've got a bridge to sell you.

My goal is not to try and turn people here, defend CIG from the goons, shill for CIG, protect backers or the like. It's to defenstrate this notion that crowdfunding of this magnitude is bad, that a company that may not have started off surefooted can try and gain some ground in the more recent years and that there exists a possibility of a space simulation that many people want and is for all intents and purposes, attainable. Look: CIG has raised a poo poo ton of money from backers and an unknown amount from private investment. They have positioned themselves around tax hurdles, setup subs to adjust their positions, hedge and play the game (just like any other corporation does), and - iny my opinion - are making efforts to really achieve some semblance of a game that has grown into the scope that it has because of backer demands. I don't think Chris is sitting atop a pile of decisions and yes'ing or no'ing each into oblivion. I think he relies heavily on the advice of Todd, Erin and others for their respective areas and yes - as CEO decides overall direction but leaves a lot of the liberty to the respective heads. As for Crytek: I think CIG would have outright settled if they honestly thought they were in the wrong and "caught" by Crytek (so to speak). Either there are other facets of the agreement(s) that were made that we're just not privy to or they really think CryTek's case isn't strong enough to worry about.

To your point about attacking the arguments of others instead of others directly: I'm not outright attacking anyone. I tried making reasoned arguments but either people thought they were poo poo and stopped responding or felt the need to quash the one outspoken voice in the thread so badly that it just became less and less fun to argue. Now I just poke Smart every once in a while and say a few words here-and-there to gauge what the narrative shifted to week-by-week. One week it's about marketing and Sandi. Another it's about Erin and some Irish Mafia connection. Then it's Archer. Rinse, repeat. It's honestly old. I stopped giving CIG money and am equally as glad that there's no need to buy into and pay for anything more in SA forums. Some of the other threads and topics in the forums are ok - I'll go spend some time there and talk about my fishing kayak, learn a few tips for when I'm at the range next or whatever.

Hi Derek.

I did say that despite being entitled to his opinions, it seems like he was just pandering to the Cognitive Dissonance of the backer base who have been parroting that nonsense since Dec when he started chiming in on the case.

He is at 60/40. I remain 100% ALL IN that the MtD is going to get DENIED out of hand. What remains to be seen is how much - if any - of it survives at all.

Derek Smart was 60/40 right.

THE TRIAL

Good morning, Judge, your honour.
Crytek will plainly show
Chris Roberts who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed selling spaceships.
Selling spaceships of a high-fidelitous nature;
This will not do.

(call the warlord)

I always said I'd totally call it
In my July blog post.
If they'd let me loving finish
I'd have burned it down, the end.
But my hands were tired from all
the tweeting and the blogging.
Roberts got away with millions,
Let me revisit how this all started (not MY choice, but now it's war) back in 2015, when their bullshit refund (bad move) closed my account without my having asked for <...4230 words deleted...>

Spaceships,
Gullible nerds will buy spaceships,
We're going whaling.
We keep pretending we're writing a game.
Spaceships,
gullible nerds will buy spaceships.

(call the wife)

You little poo poo you're in it now,
I hope they throw away the key.
You should have put my name
ahead of Gary O, but no!
You had to take forever,
now they'll never see my A-list acting.
Vic's Mom is beneath my station,
Wait, where'd that scene go?!?

(call the master of ships)

Baaaaaaaaaabe!
Come to Benny, baby, let me hold you
In my arms.
M'lud I only wanted him to
remake Wing Commander.
Why'd he ban me from the building?
Judge, your honor, let me feel his hair.

Spaceships,
Millions of dollars of spaceships,
tanks, bikes and land plots.
We even made a door for the cafe,
which looked like a...
spaceship,
gullible nerds will buy spaceships.

(the judge)

The ownage from this Ortwin guy is
incontrovertible,
there's no need to hear
arguments at all.
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before
a smackdown so amazing
it transcends the rule of law.
The way you rekt the critics,
with your canny analytics,
Fills me with the urge to buy an Idris!

Since, Cry-REKT, you're a bunch of no-good geeks,
I sentence you to watch an episode of Bugsmashers every week!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!
TEAR DOWN THE CODE!

This is a good post and I am appreciative that you posted it. I feel very strongly that others should look at this post as well and enjoy it. For that reason, I am quoting this post and posting it again.

Rad. I do have a serious question though: Are you concerned that goons writing semi-funny reviews will delegitimize the project in the eyes of others? I'd hate for us all to go write our stupid jokes there only for people to be able to more easily dismiss the project as "propaganda" because of it.

Nah, it's fine.

"Defendants deduce that Crytek sues out of: wounded
pride resulting from Defendants' move from CryEngine to Lumberyard; rapacity
toward the crowdfunding amounts raised by Defendants to develop and produce the
products; hope that filing this lawsuit will cause Defendants so much distraction and
legal expense that they would rather pay Crytek, a company that has experienced a
significant financial downturn in the last several years, a much-needed infusion of
capital to make the lawsuit go away; and resentment over the fact that many of its
employees abandoned Crytek which could not afford to pay them."

Whaaaa-HAHAHAHAHA

I'm hoping the collapse of the "most crowdfunded thing ever" is the end of crowdfunding. If its burning corpse drags early access down with it, I also wouldn't complain.

Mmm... yeah. That's the good poo poo right there. Top shelf FUD.
