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

People are already floating this exact argument in the refunds thread (which you know because that's where you stole Archered it from I'm sure)

Trust me, what's dropping today is so horrific, that I have no idea how Shitizens are going to reconcile their feelings.

I particularly loved, and am looking forward to the brutal evisceration of Ortwin who was just asking for it with his Rule 11 bullshit, which he later put in a public filing which he didn't even need to do. All he did there was piss off the attorneys and set the stage for hostilities.

Oh, and we get to see the infamous Feb 27, 2012 waiver - all 3 pages of it, which prove beyond a doubt that not only did he not disclose that he had an interest in the venture, but also that he was double dealing the whole time. Which is pretty much in the realms of disbarment seeing as the infamous GLA which he negotiated for BOTH sides, is now in dispute.

For me, the hilarity is in FKSS accusing Skadden of hiding the GLA, when in fact they failed to include the highly explosion waiver in their own response. The Skadden response to that is one for the history books.

Other worthy topics include the decimation of the FKKS argument over the meaning of the word "exclusive", as well as their inference that SQ42 is part of SC, is not a separate game, but they are allowed to sell it separately.

As to the engine switching part? loving :laffo: Just wait.

Seriously, from what I hear, the response is absolutely horrific and it's highly unlikely that FKKS will even respond to it without triggering another time bomb that Skadden set for them in it. But knowing Ortwin, my guess is that he's going to respond, thus providing more lols and taking us right into the Feb 9th show-down.

They're hosed. Completely. There is NO way out, there is NO escape, and there is NO coming back from this lawsuit without writing Crytek a big loving check.

My mind is ready, but I’m not sure my body can handle this kind of anticipation mixed with motion.

I can only anticipate that at the end of the thread now is a cauldron full of backer tears and Ortwins disbarment notification as everybody scrambled to reconcile. The shell companies are at defcon 2 to hide the loot.

He is admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania, but currently does not carry professional liability insurance.

Hypothetical question:

If a backer contributes to his Patreon, and then relies upon his opinions in their decision to not seek a refund, could they later sue him because there was consideration made (payment) in exchange for legal opinion?

Or does he recite boilerplate language about not creating an attorney-client relationship during the stream?

RSI: You can't sue us because it was CIG who signed your stupid deal! :smug:

Skadden:

3. If RSI Is Not A Party To The GLA, Then Crytek's Claims For Copyright Infringement Are Even Stronger:

Defendants' suggestion that RSI is not bound by the GLA igores the implications that holding would have for Crytek's claims of copyright infringement. If the Court determines that RSI is not bound by the GLA, then RSI was not authorized to obtain Crytek's code: RSI is not included on Exhibit 3 to the GLA, which lists the "[a]uthorized third party developer(s)" who are entitled to receive access to Crytek's technology pursuant to Section 2.6 of the GLA. (GLA Ex. 3 at 19). If RSI is not a party to the GLA, then CIG had no license to distribute Crytek's technology to RSI. And a fortiori, RSI had no license to (for example) publish Crytek's source code through the "Bugsmashers" videos hosted on RSI's web site.

Yes!

It’s like Skadden is putting into legally binding documents exactly what everybody here has talked about!

I guess we now know the Skadden intern patrolling the thread is doing her or his job.

You CIG intern better be ashamed. You had all the info but ignored it. For shame, CIG intern!

Still catching up, posting from the past. Live posting as I read through the response, I liked this part about Skadden not including the GLA in the initial filing:

quote:

Defendants suggest that the Court should draw negative inferences from the fact that Crytek did not file the GLA as an exhibit to its initial and amended complaints. (E.g., Defts.' Br. at 1-2 (accusing Crytek of "conceal[ing]" the GLA from the Court by "deliberately omitt[ing]" and "hiding" the GLA); id. at 9 (describing the GLA as "the hidden document"); id. at 18 (arguing that "the entire FAC should be dismissed for failure to state a claim particularly given the lack of candor by Crytek regarding the GLA."). The GLA contains sensitive business information concerning Crytek's licensing practices and Crytek was not obliged to attach it to a public filing. In any event, the terms of the GLA contradict Defendants' contentions here.

:lol:

This is what a professional filing looks like.

"All rise," bellowed the bailiff.

A tired, annoyed judge, hunched over, walks in. He doesn't look at the defendants, nor the plaintiffs, nor the audience. He knows how this is going to go. He just has to get through it, he tells himself.

"You may be seated," he says, his voice tailing off into a sigh. Exasperation had gripped him for a week, and he saw no use in hiding it today.

"Now, we begin today wi-," he starts, but an airhorn blows from the back of the room. His temper had already risen all morning. He was just waiting for one poke to push him over the edge.

"THE COURT WILL BE IN ORDER!" he shouts, slamming the gavel down again and again, tripling in noise with every slam, every second.

"ya whoa," someone mutters from the back.

The judge's eye quivers, a vein protrudes from his temple. "Excuse me?" he asks, incredulously.

"ya whoa did ehp did eh woah did," said the timid voice again, but louder. Giggles are heard from the general area.

"ORDER, ORDER, I WILL NOT HAVE THESE DISRU-!" he tries to exclaim, cut off by a short burst of another airhorn, from a different corner.

"LET HIM loving FINISH!" growls Derek Smart through convulsions of laughter, tears streaming down his face.
