Because if there is I'm really surprised by how well it lines up with what's happening here. Really makes you think.

"The opposition rambles over ground not set forth clearly or at all in the FAC. By repeatedly attempting to justify getting waved through Rule 12 by arguing phantom allegations, by proffering absurd interpretations of now-revealed plain contract language, by asserting ever-shifting claims for copyright infringement without identifying the allegedly infringing works, and by seeking remedies that are palpably improper under black letter law (e.g., punitive damages for breach of contract and statutory damages for pre-registration infringement), the opposition demonstrates that both efforts at pleading in this case have been an unmanageable, incoherent mess unworthy of proceeding beyond the pleading stage and all of the attendant time and expense thereafter.

The Court should straighten that mess by granting the motion"

Boy, I can't wait for another exciting Leonard French video where he takes Ortwin's arguments at face value and reassures the backers that this will be dismissed.

Instead of the more likely scenario, where it will be pushed forward by a judge with reason to be irritated with the actions of the defendant and their council. That's always a good way to start things!

This would be an interesting argument to make were this a motion for summary judgment. It's not! You cannot claim there's no case by deciding it on its merits on a Motion to Dismiss! These are things you have to decide with a trial because there's a genuine controversy as to law and the facts. This is not the place to make such arguments, all Crytek has to do is allege that there is a breach of the contract and the case can go forward because that's the entire loving point of the lawsuit in the first place.

in fact, by arguing facts of the case, they are basically encouraging the judge not to dismiss, by pointing out there are arguable facts. :v:

ACTUGAMING.NET: Sandro is asked about Star Citizen

quote:

I think this is a tricky question but we would like to hear your opinion on Star Citizen! What do you think ? How do you see Star Citizen deal with Elite Dangerous?

We are curious to play Star Citizen. We have said from the beginning that we can not put such a genre on the front of the stage with only one production. We're really happy to see this comeback of the space genre, from Elite Dangerous to No Man's Sky to Eve Valkyrie or Star Citizen . We are proud to have allowed and contributed to this return! The space is cool again!

If we speak now on a more comparative point of view, I can only say what defines Elite Dangerous - massively multiplayer, a true science of galactic design, a realistic physics, regular updates and a defined and rhythmic history by the player. We just want to make a great game for players who love gender genre(?) as much as we do. Shooter fans have plenty of alternatives in the end, and players have time to enjoy both Call of Duty and Battlefield.

Google translated from source, with what I assume are minor errors (the gender/genre one is a crack up.)

In contrast to CIG’s bluster, Sandro adopts Braben’s icy polite diplomacy on the topic; the snark is subtextual, deniability plausible.

We are curious to play Star Citizen.

I don't understand how Ortwin can even reasonably claim that they is CIG's plan. Isn't it normal to obtain a license for a product in development before investing significant resources into that product? Otherwise the licensor holds the (potential) licensee over a barrel.

I mean, who the hell knows what is in any given person's mind at any given time; but this might just be the chewbacca defense. Maybe the judge doesn't know enough about how this works, and will dismiss without prejudice until such time as an breech has occurred? It's kind of a long shot, but who knows. :shrug:
