Remember, they are pitching for jury case. So wording will be more 'casual' just for that fact alone.

I don't think so (insert usual 'not a lawyer' statement here). The point of the filing is to provide a preliminary overview in legal terms of what is under contention, from Crytek's perspective. It isn't 'evidence', and the jury has no reason to even read it.
Absolutely unbelievable https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/7jr7xd/absolutely_unbelievable/
Umm... didn't we see Chris Roberts sitting at a computer not only showing of the demo but also looking at lines of code and randomly pressing some keys back then? It kind of hinted that it was him and his small but dedicated team that had done the actual work.
Its something i've encoutered a bit on that sub. To some of the fans its only like two games exist. The good game that one day will be SC, and they acknowledge the existence of ED because apparently ED fans are jealous of SC's success. (yes yes, i know, bonkers). I even tried to point out to one of these madmen that i actually played and enjoyed other games as well, but they couldn't seem to understand the concept.
Crytek would be under ZERO obligation to finish the games. In fact they could use the assets to create a different game and everyone would still have to buy in again.

Yes it was, Star Citizen was what the kickstarter was for not SQ42.
Not at the beginning. Squadron 42 was thing they demoed and certainly thing they start to collect money for.
Then SC arrived.
I know, I was there.
Is anyone keeping count on how many of CiGs business relationships/partnerships turn to sewage fodder? Is it all of them apart from Intel? Off the top of my head:
AMD?
The joystick people?
The people that made Star Marine?
CryTek?
AMD?
The joystick people?
The people that made Star Marine?
CryTek?
I can't help but think CIG and white knights will play the martyr card, and the whales will continue throwing more money. They're in the same situation than when you're waiting for the bus for much more time than what it would have taken to directly walk home: starting to walk will make you silly, and the bus could well be just around the corner.
You are wrong. SC was always the original pitch. It is right there in the kickstarter. Even the original pitch video talked about SC not SQ42.
I know I was there.

Seems to be quite a list - no idea on the status of the relationships - from AP and Rubber Jonny on SA:
AP posted:
This goes to the heart of what has happened to all the money in my view.
Chris Roberts couldn't have built the demo without Crytek, on kickstarter launch day CIG's (subcontractor, built) website crashed, so CIG switched subcontractors to Turbulent. This is a pattern that repeats, there are so many ex-subcontractors, Turbulent are understandably a lot harder to ditch now than normal.
Turbulent - Web platform, Spectrum, store, sales - Montreal, Canada
Behaviour Interactive - Concept art, Ships, 890 Jump, x85, mobiGlas, hangar flair - Montreal, Canada
CGBot - Artwork - Mexico Probable source of the leak from 2013
IllFonic - FPS module/1st unfinished version of Star Marine - Denver
Moon Collider - Kythera Artificial Intelligence middleware - Scotland
Rmory - weapon concept art - Bavaria, Germany
The Imaginarium - 63+ day Failed motion capture shoot - London
Wyrmbyte - Network engineering, Universe, Servers - Louisville Colorado
Virtuos - Ships, 1st version of the Cutlass, props - Shanghai, China
RedHotCG - props - Shanghai, China
voidALPHA - environment & concept art - Emeryville, California
Not even sure this covers all the ones we know about (faceware, Side for casting etc), never mind the ones that were never made public. Now consider that Chris Roberts doesn't seem able to do much himself, so he hires people, after a while the relationship normally ends. It now appears, the relationship sometimes ends very badly
Yes, you're missing:
Streamline Studios (Netherlands) - SQ42 Art (stuff in leak)
Massive Black (California) - Art
Atomahawk Design (England) - Art
Confetti Special FX (California) - Nebula tech and explosion particle effects
3lateral (Serbia) - Facial mapping
Cubic Motion (England) - Facial animation
Liquid Development (Oregon) - art
Holy furball, if this list is more or less trustworthy, the question is, what does the actual Star Citizen team do? Or is work just outsourced to other companies, or better say, how much work is outsourced?
