de_dust posted:just checked out the SC reddit. I remember back when that place was level headed and would call CIG out on their bullshit. Eventually CIG began posting there, and then the most die hard from the brown sea began to post. The SC sub is now just an extension of the main forums. Most that are there don't even venture outside the SC sub.

He doesn't code, he can't draw ships, what else? hires people who have experience in making games and tells them to make the best space mmo game ever made, then goes on vacation and makes movies in between coming back to tell them again

Rincewinds posted:Soooo, should I wait until 10 of October to see if there is any interesting coming or should I just ask for a refund now? I have not really followed the development beyond Beer's posts since Elite Dangerous went to Beta, and since he have gone from jovially mocking SC to believing there will be a wave of Depends on how much you put in, and how much you care. I still expect there to be something, and I wouldn't get much back anyway since most of what I spent is on the subscription.

I've handled a reasonable amount of defamation work and I've never seen (or written) a demand letter like that. I mean demand letters are common but not whiny five page ones filled with sick burns and then published on the internet. I can't imagine they are going to follow through with this lawsuit but I would love to be wrong.tooterfish posted:Is typing up threats of a lawsuit smack bang in the middle of the weekend standard legal practice?

sorla78 posted:She is already up. That ID card looks identical to the FOB that my local harbor uses. I have one in my wallet. I imagine it's used as a quickpass to get through the door at the Santa Monica office. I have no idea what kind of secondary information is associated with it. Beyond possibly being used to log when X card was employed to access Y door. Possibly useless information. But I didn't see anyone else comment on it.

Mmm, wake up in the morning, pour a coffee, and watch the supernova that is CIG collapse in on itself. Thank you escapist, thank you Dr. Smart, you're the real heroes. Also: Miraculously after not hearing anything, this morning CIG emailed me confirming if I'd like a refund and to close my account.  Also, I read that CIG legal response. Who the gently caress did they really hire to write that -- Octopode? Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Oct 4, 2015 |

It makes sense to me that CIG are crawling back to publishers to try and get some more funds - and that that is part of the reason they are going ballistic right now. I can imagine, however, that most of those meetings with publishers went something like this: CIG: we would like more money please publisher: ok, show us what you have so far CIG: *ladder animation* *space bio-dome concept art* *a brief FPS demo that crashes immediately* publisher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_6CZ2JaEuc

I would love to see the face of the accountant that would ultimately have to audit CIG.

I am not a lawyer (obviously), but in what court in the United States is publishing your cease-and-desist letter online a good idea? WTF is the thinking behind that? If you did it quietly, maybe you persuade Escapist to themselves quietly make the stories disappear. Now, their reputation is on the line, because YOU put their reputation on the line. Instead of having a chance to make the whole thing go away through legal threat rather than legal action, you almost certainly guarantee they aren't going to give in. They can't be seen to give in to bullying. Plus, there is a huge potential to gain by being seen as a group that stands up to bullying, real or imagined. They also ran this stuff through their legal department, so I would suspect "What if they sue?" is a conversation that was had days ago.

It's a lot of chest beating, CIG is trying to make it's zealots awed with their awesome power to stand up to these nefarious Escapist trolls. The only reason they would list a CC list like that on the bottom was to intimidate, and I also don't know of any C&D letter that ends with BY THE WAY LET ME NOW DESCRIBE HOW YOU'VE PERSONALLY PISSED ME OFF. BUT LET ME ALSO USE INFLAMMATORY LANGUAGE IN MY C&D LETTER TO PROVE HOW WRONG IT IS FOR YOU TO USE INFLAMMATORY LANGUAGE ABOUT SOMEONE YOU BADDIES.

I think it's important that every time you say "Chris Roberts" that you add "alleged cokehead" because of journalist ethics.

That's not a cease and desist letter, it's a shitpost on letterhead. I think Croberts even wrote that his legal team advised him not to put it online, but he cannot allow his grand vision to be besmirched by that scoundrel Derek Smart.

They're also trying to paint a picture of "establishment against little crowd funded upstart" And one thing about this- no other journalist will really want to cover CIG in any form as they are going to be tainted as eager to sue.
