Sure you can, deep pockets of legal teams is a very hard buff to any claim made in the us legal system, that has been proven time and time again. Though, having said that, it may be why they won't, I guess Bethesda may come under protection from daddy Microsoft? If so, their financial power make CIG look like a gnat going up against an elephant. But hey, it's only a theory..

Even in the US legal system you have to demonstrate a case has merit before you can get it into court. There are thousands upon thousands of similar games out there. They'd have to prove something way more specific than "It's also a space" to not get laughed out of court.

This legal concern is also a bit left field. If you believe their funding charts their whales will fund them regardless of whatever happens. If Starfield is a success they'll probably just spite fund more.

Can we truly rule it out? ;)

(One of the more outré endings to this debacle could see Chris found on their mocap stage, wild of hair and stabbing at Theranos-style gear, desperately trying to create an escape universe...)

Yeah, it's been physicalized seems to be a catchphrase, maybe they really did do this and haven't realised what a goldmine they are sitting on because they get it working with a video game!

For a given value of universe, its technically the truth.

I mean, to a bacteria, a person's stomach is its universe.

"We didn't back for a forever alpha likethis is starting to be. We backed for something we've been told time and again until 2016 that wouldn't take 10 years to make. I pretty much guarantee you that if people in 2012 would think that in 2023 we'd have one incomplete Stanton, that most large ships sold in 2013 would be still a decade away, that bugs from then would STILL exist now, CIG wouldn't even have gotten off the ground. What makes this ok now, I'm asking."

I had to check which forum I was reading.

The destroyer and curse of MMO's everywhere, Lethality has this to say...

What I don't understand is why people keep posting things like this, as if they are shocked and have been wronged?

This is alpha software; it is not fit to use for any intended purpose and nothing the marketing messages say will change that.

The terms of services also covers this quite well.

Stop acting outraged, this is what you literally paid to sign up for... on top of that it's a video game where you're already wasting your time anyway.

There is exactly 0 loss here.

And because of the above, there's no need for them to "announce" things.

Move on.

Ugh.

They don't get it. CIG said they could do those things, took money to do those things, and have spent years trying to figure out how to deliver those things.

If in 2012 they said "We've got no idea how to do any of this but give us money and we will figure it out" they wouldn't have got a fraction of the funding.

It was worse than that. They said in 2012 that they had done those things. You know, the whole:

What you've seen was put together by a very small team over the past year. We felt that this vision needed to be shown rather than talked about so we invested our own money to build the technical and visual prototype that shows just how Star Citizen is going to push the limits of PC games.

What Chris really had was a machinima video built in CryEngine by Crytech.

I'm anticipating this to be the start of CIG going from "leading" to "chasing" the space sim genre. - Star Citizen Spectrum

Lets be honest, when Star Citizen first announced, and after its big switch to making the game bigger and more expansive.. CIG's defense, backers defense, and the over all goal of Star Citizen was...

Although i did get a chuckle from the idea that this a new thing, and not something that has been evident for years.



LOL, this guy...



First, ambition is easy. Look at Star Atlas for example, or Earth 2.

Second, what its pulled off to date, is a pale shadow of what was promised, and a buggy alpha limited in functionality is nothing to boast about, no matter how many polygons you have on the screen.

Stop hiding CIG and respond? - Star Citizen Spectrum

Dear CIG. Many people around here (judging by the amount and contents of threads) are for pretty long time upset with the lack of feedback you give back. You communicate but only topics that are...

What a joke - Star Citizen Spectrum

Have you seen the new Inside Star Citizen? Joking and laughing about missing deadlines... They want to make things never done, and they say again that you can fail. Please for the love of god...

The people on Spectrum are all people who gave CIG money. Makes you think doesn't it?
