The way the star citizen defense force mobilizes for articles is impressive. Croberts should make a limited run QRF space jpeg they can buy for 3 or 4 grand but only if they can prove they have defended CIG's honor within 15 minutes of an article being posted.

Why was she and James fired? It came right out of the blue for both as far as I can recall.

Also, Chris said he could easily spend 150 million on this in an interview a while back.
I now see how. Gross mismanagement.

A RICO case requires the justice department make a case that there is a conspiracy of criminal intent. You have to show the participants were part of an organization and had intent to commit a crime. RICO allows you to charge all of the participants of a criminal conspiracy with the same charges, instead of having to build a case for each individual. They're generally used for taking down large syndicates or networks. This would not happen for a game developer as there is no need to put in the work. You can charge the participants individually and have the result you need.

If everyone involved at CIG was part of a criminal enterprise, and remember this requires not only showing that their actions were criminal, but that the intent was to commit a crime, then you'd have grounds for a RICO prosecution. This is at best a small part of a foreign subsidiary of a large developer.

A lot of younger people remember RICO took down the MOB!! And forget the reason RICO was created, and used, was to take down large criminal enterprises when the leaders were not committing the crimes.

Totally correct.

quote:

Mr. Smart has insisted that he has knowledge that at least some of the leaders are directly involved in criminal activity, so again, no need for RICO in a case like that. ... Assuming that all is true, of course.

uhm no, I have not as I do not know the extent of their involvement. What I have said is that they were part of a company (Gizmondo) that was involved in criminal activity (money laundering).

From RTV INN transcription

[What will the mocap studio in the office provide?] It's a shared space. They're building 3 standing spaces for community productions, one for AtV, one for Meet the Devs, something else. They'll be on wheels, so when they need to do mocap with the mocap equipment they have, they can wheel that stuff out, and do mocap in the room. Performance capture will still happen at proper studios.
There's an AtV set, an all-purpose one for interviews, and a third one for a new 'Dev vs. Dev' show.
They need a LOT of mocap for things. One thing they do when creating new ships is look at angles on walkways and how doors opens, and they invariably need new mocap done for each new ship that comes around.

Hmm, cool a set for AtV, a set for Meet the Devs, a set for this "Dev vs Dev" thing. I wonder where they do the actual programming?

Yes. I've been in production meetings where people get super loving mad about being given "Producer" credit rather than "Executive Producer" credit. It's a hilarious thing that never ceases to amaze me.

A year or two ago, they explained how they were standardizing all the animations so that they wouldn't have to do that. I guess plans changed. there is no plan.

That's because they know that Producer is the real poo poo and Exec Producer = kiddie gloves tag. Which is why someone like Bonnie Arnold (Producer on Tarzan, Over the Hedge and How to Train Your Dragon) ends up co-president of feature animation at Dreamworks.
