I thought I already had it in my unplayed list of shame but it seems I have the one before it (advanced warfare I think (the one with Kevin Spacey).

Ah yes, Strike Commander. This is what Chris Roberts had to say about it:

The thing about Apocalypse Now is that Coppola et al did produce something special that has stood the test of time.

Theme tune for SC perhaps should be supplied by the Propellerheads... ...some of the lyrics cut... well, judge for yourself...

I think my steam library is about 600 with similar amount of DLCs, and then around another 400 split across all other pc digital platforms. I have played maybe 200 of these games (half of which had over an HR put into them).
Then about 20 PS4 titles (played 4) and I think I still have 100 or so Xbox 360 titles..... I did better in those days probably played 70 of them. (That was BC. (Before child)

You might be CIG's target market. You buy lots of stuff you'll never see. ;)

You might be on to something....this aint a CIG specific bash. I have to say that I also collect games and things I perceive as a "good deal" even tho I cant possibly have the time to ever play or use them. SC is just more extreme but underlies the exact same thought process.

Yes, what I said last week...


To summarise, the 2015 Crytek - Amazon licensing agreement would likely have allowed Amazon to license Lumberyard to its own customers (Including CIG) unfettered by any claims from Crytek. Amazon would never had entered into the license agreement with Crytek without such rights, as Amazon needs to be able to carry on its own (Lumberyard) game engine business completely unencumbered by possible legal issues arising from prior use of Cryengine by itself or its customers.

Subsequently, CIG was granted a license to use Lumberyard by Amazon, and we see the result as announced today.

The only surprise IMO is that it's taken so late for this to surface. I can only assume Crytek needed Discovery to affirm their worst fears; that the CIG - Amazon licensing agreement did indeed sign away any rights Crytek may have had.

So Crytek truly Cryrekt?

I don't understand why Crytek would need discovery to know they had signed away their rights. Surely Crytek's own lawyers could have told them that.

Anyway, its cool. Now CR gets to succeed or fail by himself and backer's won't be able to blame Crytek for any failure.

It’s kinda traditional to wait for the fat lady to sing before applauding riotously ;)

I reckon your ‘nothing will come from this’ take is still pretty premature.

The current lay of the land suggests CIG are now wary of launching SQ42 as a stand-alone game, for example. That’s a possible repercussion that could persist beyond a case dismissal. (And could have implications regarding consumers who purchased the game as a stand-alone, and for the sizeable SQ42 tax rebate in the UK).

(My reading is that CIG are concerned by the ‘initial GLA still holds’ argument, and want to avoid that being tested in court. One way to avoid that is by not launching SQ42 as a separate game, and so avoid capping off the ‘sold, marketed and accessed separately’ set of clauses.)

I suspect the drama isn’t over. There’s always more ;)

Awesome outcome, not unexpected! Now they need to recoup backers money and put it towards development! Also, I’m hearing 3.8.1 PTU is significantly more stable than 3.8.

They are pushing development out to 2023 in certain regards, which bodes well for longevity!

A developer that is backing their product for an enduring timeframe is awesome for gaming. Especially considering that gaming has dropped 15%.

Except that there's no product. I'd say that being able to stay active as a games company for 8 years with no product released is disgusting, I'd even say that by continuing this ridiculous practice can only damage gaming as it sets a massively poor example and brings the bar really low for quality delivered over time.

There is nothing to be applauded.
