I think it's to make a commercial. My lizard brain also thinks they're going to try to seed some kind of currency or otherwise introduce some kind of leverage system that benefits from an initial introduction to people with money and a strong personal incentive to see Star Citizen grow who will work to advocate for the project.

People who are more brain good than I am think that there's a chance that they'll be press ganged into buying some kind of legally dubious shares.

Still others have noticed that the snack fund for certain MIA employees hasn't been fulfilled recently and think we're looking at a Sweeney Todd type scenario.

Blood rituals have also been kicked around.

okay seriously

you true believer citizens reading this thread

I was an investor, like I could have made money off of Star Citizen, if it didn't turn into what it is now

owning a share in CIG is just throwing money away

part of my deal was not having a say in the creative development of the game

do you really think with one or even ten measly shares in CIG will entitle you to some kind of expression of your dreams

if CIG offers you a share, get a refund

DO NOT BUY A SHARE WITHOUT SEEING THE FINANCIALS FIRST

this is investment 101 fuckers

Listen to this man, believer lurkers and former denizens of /DS. The age of easy growth is long since past. You yourselves have seen it, heard it as conversations about Star Citizen with friends now prompt jeers and grumbles when once they were excitedly joined.

Chris Roberts has set his desperate sights on your wallets, your savings, your credit, your assets — anything and everything you own that he might convince you to part with, divest of or liquidate in exchange for yet more subsidy, yet more runway, yet more continuity with the bankrupt status quo he delights in and believes himself entitled to.

Have you not already given him enough, really? And what has he really given you in exchange besides pennies worth of pleasure and an IOU for a king’s ransom worth of it?

He has taken too much, and owes you more than he can ever repay. So great are his debts that he can no longer even make the interest payments and indeed, he is losing the interest he once so easily captivated. It is not your duty to bridge his shortfalls with either your faith or funds, this miscreant who now seeks even more money for the privilege of his company in courting yet even more from those of you already far too overinvested in his delusions.

Ask not what you can do for your Chairman; ask what your Chairman must do for you.

Stick to talking about kickstarter belts and booze because as of now you lost all the little bit of cred your little gimmick here was giving you.

This is a blatant misrepresentation of CIG’s announcement. In fact, CIG announced in the 2016 Press Release that it had switched to Amazon Lumberyard for both Star Citizen and Squadron 42. Thus, Crytek’s claim that CIG is breaching the GLA by using the Engine in Squadron 42 is flatly contradicted by the 2016 Press Release, which makes crystal clear that CIG is using Lumberyard, not the Engine, in Squadron 42.

How does this sort of thing handle code explicitly built upon proprietary code? For instance, CIG's whole 64-bit precision and their local physics grids are obviously built on top of and interact directly with CryEngine object code. So who owns that new code in the event CIG need to get rid of any Crytek code? Is it CIG's because they wrote it, or is it Crytek's because it wouldn't have been writeable in the first place without their code?

Basically, does CIG own the house if Crytek own the land the house is built on?
