Star Citizen Discussions v7
- Thread starter Brett C
- Start date
FWIW DS:
"I am hearing CIG was already under clear threat of IP infringement lawsuit before they pledged SQ42 & other materials to @CouttsandCo for the UK loan. This presents another problem as they would have had to disclose this to the bank."

That probably was fine when it was bought as a package or as one.
I mean wasn't SQN 42 originally a Single player campaign that lead into the Open world of Star Citizen, so you could see that all being one game
But separated as different purchasable items.
Even the complaint mentioned that it was CIG announcing then proceeding to sell it as a separate game that was the issue

Hmm, that sounds different when you phrase it like that. But we are talking about 1 game or two games, not 100 in a franchise.
Haha, no. If you want to know what a 'product' is, you go to the store->products. CIG registered two products, sells them separately, markets them separately, claims to have separate teams for them and has separate conventions dedicated to them. This is really two products, that much is super clear.
A judge doesnt care how we 'feel' about IP or 'personally define' it. That is just not how law works I am afraid.

Yea. I was talking about the time when the agreement with Crytek was taken. At that time, 'Star Citizen' was one game.

Not if you charge for S42 separately, which I believe they were going to do.
aaand... ninjad again by Vasious and sleutelbos. I'm just not quick enough.

Thing is, His "ELE" is like saying "One Day, the world will End".
It's so vague and without substance, one day eventually, it will come to pass. The writing was on the wall, I give him that, but it's more of a series of badly managed events rather than a single K-T event.
White Knights must expend 1 magic point every round to keep Chris Roberts calm. If WK's run out of money...err, magic points, Chris begins to expand exponentially obliterating everything in his path.
At worst, it will give CIG, yet ANOTHER excuse to say why the project has failed or being delayed. Let's blame it on.... (big breath) Derek Smart, Crytek, Goons... and so on.
Sure - except in this case, CryTek holds the power. They are the one with the engine CIG are using. Refusing to pay and making someone you need angry at you...angry enough o sue and remove your rights to said engine and the work you have done to date...gives CIG nothing.
No. It won't be released at all. Noone is going to make Star Citizen. Even CIG was unlikely to release the Star Citizen that was promised, but CIG are going to have very few backers left if they have to start all over again.
How many game systems need 64 bit precision? Very, very few. How many need procedural generation of planets and solar systems? Very very few. How many need procedural generation of cities? Very, very few. There are a few odds and ends that CIG added - such as RaaT - that would be useful, but most of the work they did was because they were creating a very niche genre that most engines did not and do not support. That's why other companies such as HG and FD and NQ develop their own engines. It's actually LESS work in many ways than adapting an existing engine.
Sounds like a smuggling ship.
The blame game will come later (as a DLC) if they lose (settlement) or if it goes all the way to court and they lose (there is only one option and that is winning) after the dust settles, oh boy, then we will see the aftermath ....
