Confirmation that Derek saw this - the word 'nonsense'.

Derek and goons called all of this, it's done citizens get your money out. Chris has 3 options:

1. Settle (the grapevine which is 70% accurate is talking about upwards of 10 million) and continue fundraising
2. Bankrupt
3. Space Court

not only settle, but settle and remove every and all aspect of cryengine code from their game, including improvements or forks from the original code

Star Citizen ending in a legal tire fire means Chris gets to jump back on kickstarter with a sob story to start fleecing whales again like it's 2012.

Yeah this looks like a bullshit response. Crytek gave some plausible complaints in the lawsuit, at first, without us knowing what was in the GLA. CIG responds to every point with good arguments and the actual text in the GLA pointing out what its a frivolous lawsuit

The counter response is reasserting the original claims that were completely shot down, without actually putting forth anything new or offering a rebuttal

Combined with how they initially tried to conceal the GLA to make it appear they had a viable argument, it seems pretty obvious this is just a cash grab. Their plan is likely to attempt to use the corrupt video game press and publicity to drag this lawsuit out and attempt to get them to settle

CryTek just want to steal Star Engine so they can sell it.

I know we're pretty anti meme around here, but what about a sweat 90s meme in a bad video game franchise?

calling Mortal Kombat a bad video game franchise deserves kitty jail more than a meme.

I love how the well written, layman-readable skadden stuff is immediately glossed over, meanwhile the "contract vs torta - a torta is not a sandwich it is a mexican delicacy served on two pieces of bread" crazy, unreadable poo poo that FKKS puts out is hailed as some ironclad legal document

like CIG is completely hosed here. they are bad people, who have hosed over hundreds and hundreds of other people, who have put away millions into their own personal accounts and will ultimately get shut down like every other loving studio they've ever run

everyone with money still in this deserves to get taken

Quick, how can moma spin this into a win for him?

Gotta come up with something for him to use before he hurts himself trying.

My first action upon opening the pastebin was to search �Ortwin�. It produced 2 hits.

MoMA might want to bring Fire and Fury on that point, because those of us hoping for The Ortpocalypse pretty much got The NothingBurgermeister.

I think that's pretty much how citizens operate day-to-day. "I can't understand it, therefor it is genius" also serves to explain how Crobert's handwavium rantings are still treated as pearls of divine wisdom by certain mongoloids.

I won't show up the first day (because that's basically like "hello, hello, we are moving forward, here's the court date") but I will be there when poo poo hits the fan
