CIG/Crytek Lawsuit Proceeds [Aug 15, 2018, 6:49 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
This court document has the Court's response to a Motion to Dismiss filed by
Cloud Imperium Games in response to the
lawsuit filed against them by Crytek
(thanks
[H]ardOCP). At issue is the use of CryEngine technology in Squadron 42
and a switch away from the CryEngine for Star Citizen, both of which
Crytek claims violates their contract.
Derek
Smart helps identify the key passages, though the outspoken developer is
barely less wordy than the original 22-page missive. It's the conclusion where
we find the court only granted two elements of the Motion to Dismiss, while the
rest of the lawsuit will proceed:
In light of the foregoing, the Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part the MTD as follows:
- The MTD is DENIED insofar as it seeks dismissal of all causes of action alleged against Defendant RSI;
- The MTD is GRANTED insofar as it seeks dismissal of the aspect of Plaintiff's cause of action for breach that is based on section 2.1.2's "exclusive" grant to embed CryENGINE in the Game;
- The MTD is DENIED insofar as the request to dismiss the cause of action for breach of contract is premised on California Civil Code section 1655's implied condition and on section 6.1.4 of the GLA, and insofar as Plaintiff's claim for breach is predicated on CryEngine's allegedly unauthorized use in Squadron 42;
- The MTD is DENIED with respect to the Plaintiff's cause of action for copyright infringement;
- The MTD's request that the Court dismiss Plaintiff's prayers for relief is DENIED with respect to monetary damages, injunctive relief, and statutory damages and attorney's fees, and GRANTED with respect to punitive damages;
- The MTD's alternative request that the Court strike allegations in Paragraph 15 of the FAC is DENIED.

Now I understand, it's asbergers.
It all makes sense.
Aspergers. Not official, but likely given the array of symptoms are quite similar. That doesn't stunt my ability to formulate thoughts and communicate them. It just makes being around people more difficult. On the autism spectrum for Derek, it would explain his obsessive nature with CIG, Roberts, and Star Citizen, and his bluntness when communicating with others.
Possibly. So would him feeling jilted concerning them not knowing him and Battlecruiser being overshadowed by a Wing Commander game, and him just being an asshole. I believe that there are people with Aspergers out there, and that they have trouble with social situations. I don't believe every person that uses it as an excuse for shitty behavior.
And to be clear, I'm not doubting you, Kxmode. But I am doubting someone else in this thread.
