CIG Demands Escapist Retraction; Threatens Lawsuit [Oct 05, 2015, 08:39 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
An update to the
Chairman's Response to The Escapist on the Roberts Space Industries website
has the latest on Cloud Imperium Games' reaction to
the recent Escapist article
alleging troubles at the developer of Star Citizen, the upcoming
crowd-funded space game. The post has been modified to demand a retraction of the
assertions in the article, threatening legal action if this doesn't happen by
the end of today. They say the site has "violated the most basic rules and
ethics in journalism by failing to properly vet [their] sources and providing
the affected party with an opportunity to refute these ridiculous, highly
slanderous, and easily disproven allegations," and also state this was not a
legitimate piece of journalism, but rather a conspiracy between the author and
"third parties" (who go unnamed, though we have a guess). They reproduce a lengthy letter they sent to the
Escapist, and
here is how this concludes:
If we have not received within a reasonable time your written confirmation (email being sufficient) that you agree to cooperate and comply with the above demands we will firstly publish this letter to our website. Based on the generous standards set by you, we believe that 24 hours should be sufficient to hear from you. Furthermore, if we have not received the aforementioned confirmation from you or your magazine and/or parent company by EOD Monday, we will turn this matter over to our litigators to prepare legal action in the US and the UK against the individuals and entities involved as listed herein.
This saga just keeps on giving.
