According to the accounts of Cloud Imperium Games UK LTD. On 1 July 2015 they finalised the transaction for £1,359,185 worth of intellectual property. However, at some point (presumably after purchasing it) they then sold £654,612 worth of this IP while it still retained its full value to them. Does anyone have any recollection or an idea what this this could relate to? Did they announce the purchase of any IP around this time?

My complete guess would be that this in some way relates to motion capture/image rights paid to acting talent and possibly the re-sale of these rights to ?? to use these rights without diminishing their value to CIG UK LTD. This is a complete guess. None of this really makes sense to me. I don't think it can relate directly to any of the US companies or Chris himself. Ortwin's company maybe. I don't know. It's possible the figure is exactly half but with an exchange rate difference, but it sill wouldn't make sense how they sold 50% of the IP while keeping hold of 100% of the value of the IP that they just purchased.

Curious side effect of this IP sale/profit is that with standard expenses of ~£50k offset by this receipt for £650k their accounts show administration expenses of -£600k. Yes, their expenses show an increase to their profit because why not format it like that?

Could it be due to the purchase of the rights to the name 'Star Marine'? Didn't some other organisation own it?

No surprise that 2.6 was crapped out the door for Xmas I guess

https://clips.twitch.tv/relay_sc/OpenPorpoiseTheTarFu

It was basically "All hands on deck" for 2.6 since like their anniversary stream maybe even before.

Chris was lying out of his rear end when he said that he wasnt going to have the vertical slice demo of the first mission out because it would delay the full release. They did the same thing last year with 2.0, they had everyone working on it despite telling everyone that SQ42 was still going to come out in 2015 and internally having scrapped all the models and animations.

"Star Citizen is very much bleeding-edge tech."

So bleeding edge it's a free engine built from the foundations of a bankrupt engine company not capable of keeping up with Unity much less Unreal.

They may as well switch to Ogre3D or whatever Torque is calling itself these days, except they'd need people who actually know how to code instead of mod.

That would be the sort of thing that is a possibility but I think the specific is likely to be off. I think the other organisation relinquished its rights to the Star Marine trademark last month (December 2016) sometime. CIG corp then started the process of registering the trademark. I think it's due to be published for opposition at the end of this month (January 2017). Seems like they found a way to solve that longstanding issue.

It's ok to admit that not every company needs to lie constantly to sell a product. You need to go through the "CIG deprogramming" sessions and see that some companies know how to develop software.

Like EA announced the Infinite Warfare release date while CIG showed off videos with "2016" in them. One of these companies was more honest than the other. I would like to apologize on behalf of Chris Roberts for lying to you so much you can no longer see other companies being honest. It's ok, friend. You'll heal from this abusive relationship over time. :shobon:

Maybe a little, but it's like falling off your bike and breaking your wrists before a major deadline and in a company of 300 you're the only person capable of releasing the product so you can't and the company is very sad.

You could basically say it's like lying; super easy for some people. :3:

Reminder Frontier has released two titles in the time its taken CIG to make less than 1/100 of one.

you wont be able to jump into another solar system in SC till mid 2018 at the earliest (unless Chris decides to throw their update schedule out the windows again to re-prioritize things. Very likely given reception of Elite's thargoid ship cutscene)

To be fair, a lot of people went on holidays at the exact same time. Just because he has the same belt, roomate, working hours, and face as toast -who works at CIG- doesn't mean MoMA works at CIG. Again, give poor toast a break.
