Yes and No.

The E.L.E is just the catalyst to a foregone conclusion that was previously speculation at best. It is now a fact (as per the E.L.E. catalyst). No more speculation.

Look at is this way: You, get clipped by a car while crossing the street. Then, injured, you stagger into the path of an on-going truck as you try to get to the other side. The End.

Before two weeks ago, when even SQ42 being a 2016 "game" was debatable, even the skeptics thought that, at the very least, they would spit out SQ42 in 2017 and try to limp along.

From where I'm sitting - right now - there is no Star Citizen (aka PU) and there is no SQ42. Now or ever.

The project is currently going through the E.L.E which will result in a cascading effect in which the conclusion will be a total loss of the asset. As in: no game

I really cannot be more clearer than that. :(

Yes you can, you can write it all down, encrypt it and then post it online. When legal gives you the OK post the key. As it is all you are saying is that Star Citizen is hosed and eventually they will no longer be able to hide it. Anyone with two brain cells could have figured this out, unless you have a way to proving what you are talking about then no one will give you your due credit when it happens. As it is Chris could have a coke stroke tomorrow and you could claim that "his addiction was clearly about to get him killed" was what you meant all along.

It just occurred to me that when you walk within 12m of the buggy the CIG server streams 4 wheels to you, back away a step and the server tells you to forget a wheel, 4 times.

Ok, it probably doesn't, but it might.

I'm about 10 pages back but wanted to say that Toops should include at least one space train in the Sperg faction. Even better if it isn't actually steerable and just runs in a circle around the arena, stopping at certain points. I'm not sure if this is feasible, but it could also be immune to normal weapon damage but instead explodes of its own accord if another player makes it late for 3 stops in a row.

I'll put it on the ideas board. Like it.

D_Smart posted:

I am NOT at all concerned about them suing me. I've been dying for them to do it; knowing fully well that they'd be insane to try that poo poo with the likes of me.

No, this is coming from forces bigger than me, man. And I'm not crazy enough to ignore it.

Once it all comes to a head, you all will understand why.

I'll have a guess at what I think this could be about. Bare in mind that this is entirely conjecture on my part:

Some kind of government agency or agencies have got involved, with a strong suspicion that something decidedly illegal has been happening at CIG. So a warrent has been issued compelling CIG and the other companies to hand over their accounts for forensic examination.

Somehow, Derek has got wind of this (either through a contact from within CIG, or a contact at the government agency), but he's not supposed to know, so can't say anything publicly. If he does, he'll be breaking the law (in the UK I think it's known as 'tipping-off', and is an offence).

Once concrete evidence of wrong-doing is uncovered by the agency, the poo poo will really hit the fan. CIG and it's associated companies will get closed down, and all bank accounts frozen. CIG will cease to operate as a going concern.

Possible illegal activities:
Theft of company funds. Or at least misappropriation of company funds. Spending 'development' money on fripperies such as overly-expensive coffee machines, and using company funds for personal gain for example.
Money-laundering via the black/grey market and/or melt/unmelt and gifting. Derek has mentioned a 'Swedish mafia' several times in the past. They could be behind many rabid 'sock-puppet' accounts that we see all over the internet, and also used to encourage the masses to spend pledge more.
Misrepresentation of the legal grounds on which CIG denies refunds, using scare-tactics to encourage backers to cease with the attempt to get their money back (basically saying that applying for a chargeback would be breaking the law).

Dunno if any of the above is sensible. It may be total poo poo. But hopefully we'll find out in time. Two weeks?

I have a prediction here. I think they're changing engines and shitcanning F42 Germany. It explains Brian whatever's absolutely gutted and walking dead demeanor the last few updates, and the fact that he has no material progress to show.

I have to be honest. Poaching "CryEngine senior talent" is basically the equivalent of bailing out a bunch of expensive engine developers who developed the industry bargain-basement lovely engine. They haven't been able to solve ANY of the problems that have been there from the start. Star Marine? More like Stop Marine. Netcode? More like Notcode. Ship pipeline? More like poo poo pipeline. Animations? More like Progress cessation.

Wild shot in the dark but with Derek's lawyers in "don't" mode, it's as good a shot as any.
