There is something about people who tell everyone how much they give to charity. Phoney, I think the word is.

Somewhere between the idea of advertising your potential to persons who cozy up to you and itemizing the same rests a concept profoundly alien to the value I hold in my relationships with other people. It was unsettling to read. It seemed like a good point to take a walk and call up my brother to ask about his doggo. But don't get me wrong I love Star Citizen and am very glad to be part of this project and do not regret my investments in the least furthermore

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Every time I learn a little more about Clifford I want to know even less.  He’s a mostly creepy streamer, though even then still not up to the horror of that WTFoSaurus guy. The streamers people are generally creepy. I don’t even like laughing about it because in the end my expression is usually  or worse.

If you think about it $11k would be the amount of lottery tickets you would buy over a few decades, hoping to win. Both give us images on paper to look at, to admire and hope on. So in a sense, its the same. But then again, there is zero probabilty to win with Star Citizen.

Don't worry, they don't actually technically *think* that. It's closer to a subconscious mechanism that forced their fingers to type those things. If the frenchman lawyer had given them some new ammo they would be claiming something entirely different right now. By the way. I give you exclusive rights to use Unity to develop Solar Plebian and/or Love Letter. We'll sue if someone else breaks our agreement.

Gravity_Storm posted:God i hate this court crap. Make it stop. I dont care if CIG win at this point, in fact it might be quite funny. CIG have to settle, they have no choice, so the Crytek stuff might not last much longer. The only variables I see are the minimum amount Crytek will accept and if Chris Roberts can somehow raise that much. Raising money is the only thing he seems to be good at but CIG absolutely have to settle before discovery.

 Hi mr unreal engine, thank you for the exclusivity deal No problem good luck with the game! Thanks, but erm what's all this Unreal Tournament 2018 bullshit? ? You said we have exclusivity and there appears to be a game being made using unreal engine that isn't ours

What do you mean AP? Crytek isn't looking to settle, they asked for a jury trial. You can't just unilaterally decide to settle out of court you need agreement on both sides.

Here I was being naive and thinking CIG gave out ship jpegs to streamers, who in turn raffle them off as a publicity and marketing venture Turns out this big weirdo just bought them for full pop to give away to 'friends' on his stream Lol

I mean what I said, CIG will have to settle this for whatever they can get Crytek to accept. Personally I don't believe Crytek is going to turn down something in double digit millions and run a real risk of getting nothing due to CIG going bust, CIG need to figure out what the low end is. I'm expecting a last minute settlement before discovery starts.

The Titanic posted:
In defense of Clifford, he seems to keep almost all of his comments positive. Even the comments in regards to SC's detractors or issues are framed in a positive way. I have to say that while I am immensely creeped out by the anime angle, and am a little off put at the extreme cash outlay into a failed dream, he seems really affable. If most of the vocal Star Citizen backers acted like him, I think it would be a real improvement for their community. I imagine he keeps his comments positive to maintain a good reputation for his streaming. If that is the case, he may be the most professional acting of all the characters involved in Star Citizen.

D_Smart posted:My theory is that they KNEW the GLA only permitted them ONE game. By switching to LY, they avoid that breach. Except they didn't actually do it. Now we're getting somewhere. Fake LY switch -> split SQ42 = more income = no Crytek support overhead Then they roll out the SQ42 playthrough, that awful dull thing to sell more SQ42. They swapped out the logos to fake an engine switch to maximise income from SQ42, not only did it backfire and land them with a lawsuit but the Dec SQ42 video flopped because it was pure cringe. That's a pretty big risk they took - Brian Chambers said they switched after legal consultation, so they've been advised that they were ok to "switch". The took that risk in return for raising money, now I have an explanation and an answer that makes sense.

Cloud Imperium Games invests £15 million in its UK studio quote:The Wilmslow Studio, Foundry 42, is building Squadron 42, the single player experience in Star Citizen’s universe. quote:When the company needed a quick answer about whether a multi-million pound performance capture shoot would qualify for UK video games tax relief, UKTI arranged for Cloud Imperium to meet with key public officials at HMRC and the British Film Institute. Having received a favourable reply, the shoot did indeed go ahead, in London instead of perhaps the more obvious choice of Hollywood. quote:“We have been delighted with the way our UK investment has been going,” says Ortwin. “UKTI has been very proactive in the support they have given us, willing and able to help us with any issue that has arisen. There is a certain element of red tape in any market, but UKTI is interested to make sure that our business in the UK can progress as uninhibited as possible. We’re working towards a 10-year plan for Foundry 42, taking on more space to house our growing team. It wasn’t our original intention for the UK to become our biggest hub, but given the price structure and the government support, that is what’s happened.”
