The only lesson that should be learned from all this BS is NEVER start or run your business in California. The socialists and SJWs running the failing economy and government (look at broken ass infrastructure if you dont believe me) are destroying way of life there.

Now we have confirmation from Amazon that not only did it licence Lumberyard to CIG (which was publicly known) but also CryEngine, meaning that CIG cannot be in breach of the GLA with Crytek. Not that Crytek's claim had any merit, as the GLA specifically included Star Citizen AND Squadron 42.

Crytek attempted to extort CIG and now it looks like it will be on the hook for over $500,000 in legal costs, possibly a lot more. Crytek should be focused on paying its own employees rather than filing baseless lawsuits that will create even more of a blackhole in its finances.

Welcome back to the discussion forums.

Hadn't seen that, thanks. Seems to me section 2.4 of that agreement covers CIGs obligations pretty specifically. And there is nothing in the amendments that changes that.

If only someone had said this was a frivolous lawsuit.

Oh, and here's a further legal analysis of CIG's position by a technology attorney. SPOILER: Crytek's claims don't stands up to scrutiny.

Y mas

This is why I find it funny when people accuse me of being a Star Citizen fanboy, yet refuse to consider the opinions of legal experts on this lawsuit. Every legal analysis of this lawsuit showed it to be frivilous and now here we are, with Crytek attempting to dismiss its own lawsuit to avoid paying CIG's legal fees.

People can hate this game all they want - and there are plenty of legitimate reasons to do so - but they have to separate that from the legal merits of a lawsuit like this. Crytek is trying to save face by attacking CIG through demonstrably false statements when its real strategy is to never refile, letting it off the hook for the $500,000 in legal fees that CIG is seeking costs on.

I called this two years ago and yet half the comments here are still from Star Citizen trolls who are so disconnected from reality they're somewhere in the multiverse of madness.

PS - I only posted on this topic because I didn't want to disappointment all my fans. Thank you for summoning me.

Summoning has changed since the good ol’days when the name had to be repeated thrice.

My concern is that the game is supposedly due out Q3 2020.

Yeah, I imagine they'll miss the Q3 deadline since the roadmap doesn't say it'll be released in Q3. Unless you meant beta release..? I assume that will take longer than a quarter.

That's the core issue right there.

It's not whether or not this game will come out..
It's not whether or not they will deliver on the tech.

It's simply...will this game be any sustained fun?

What an utter nonsense, man! You act like I was attacking some harmless part of their culture, like music or kitchen. I was specifically targeting something I think isn't helpful.

OK, but what do you actually think I mean with "non-issue"? Do you really think I think cops shooting innocent black people a non-issue, or do you think I mean that it is not systemic as the data shows? There's also no evidence that the actual wrongful shootings are because of racism, exceptions notwithstanding. People like Colin want it to be racism and evidently desperately so.

I think I know better than you what my thoughts were back then, bud. I no longer agree with how I expressed myself, but I know what I meant back then. In a particular corner of black culture there's still very much an us/them way of looking out into the world. Same goes for white culture, but that white corner is a taboo and rightly so. I just think it should be the same thing for that part of black culture. Equality. Unity. I have a few black friends and one of them is actually one of my best buddies. That says a lot about me. Don't let the meme that it does not, fool you.

Typical, the way you evade my actual comment. No substance whatsoever regarding it. Steel-manning your opposition is something you fellas don't do. Instead, let's search for comments of the guy I want to destroy that can drag him through the mud, even if said comments are 6 fucking years old. And even said comment can only be interpreted as something not good because I didn't add the #notall disclaimer. My intention in the comment was clearly a call for unity instead of keeping a wedge between two cultures.

Yeah, I don't quite get the outrage over this either. There's a very rare reward out there for those who do play a ton / professionally / have a lot of money. It doesn't affect those who don't have it.

From a personal note, there's no way I would ever go back to 7. That OS, even the 64-bit flavor, is nowhere near as stable as 10. In the entire time I've used Win10 64-bit, I've had one BSOD, and NVIDIA drivers caused that during its installation (it hasn't happened since).

The hate towards FO76 was never really warranted, even at launch. Its biggest flaw was that it was a multiplayer spin-off instead of FO5. That's why most of its critics never even played it. However, it actually plays very much like FO4. You still spend the majority of your time exploring, killing, scavenging and crafting. There are still NPCs, they're just robots. There are still tons of interesting POIs and lore to discover too. As with any BGS game, there are bugs and the UI is still awful but at least mods help with the latter.
