Preen Dog posted:IANAL but still I post. If judges are anything like lawyers (or cops or officers or any authority job), they don't like being told what to do or what to think. They sought authority because it makes them feel powerful or safe. Which is why Derek is saying CIG know they are hosed and are trying to lose because it will let them blame Crytek for the failure of the BDSSE rather than Crobbers ego and incompetence

Phi230 posted:the mere fact that CIG's MTD introduces new facts to refute the complaint is a huge loving tell that there is a claim to be heard by the courts here especially in the context of a 12b6 Oh I think not. “All the cards are coming up CIG. Crytek's case just keeps losing more and more steam.” Crytek tried to bluff on a pair of twos but Ortwin’s got a Royal Flush and an ace up the sleeve. I expect Judge Gee will issue the tersest of summaries and do away with this farce altogether before end of day tomorrow. “No Quid Pro Quo. The court finds in favor of the defendant, and declares the plaintiff Cry-REKT!” Bangs gavel. Space court adjourned.

Cancelling the hearing means its almost certainly getting denied in its entirety. Judges will usually give you one last chance to argue before doing something drastic like dismissing a case, but if she's just going to tell them to maintain the status quo she doesn't need to extend them that courtesy. Also the language in the motion was pretty typical for trial, even if a bit unprofessional. Now if the case heats up and the sides start trying to get each other sanctioned, then we'll see some fireworks.

One common purpose of filing a 12b6 motion is to "educate the judge" on the subject matter, even if you expect the motion to be denied. However, you may find that as a result of CIG's filings, newly-commissioned High Admiral Gee is very receptive to the defendant's argument on motion for summary judgement after limited discovery.

The important thing to realise here, dear goonie friends, that whatever happens, we still get comedy. If CIG get their MtD, the game limps on for a little while longer and we get to make fun of CIG some more. Selfishly, I get to spend more time with you guys and marvel at your wit. If CT get their way, the slow motion train wreck will just speed up a little and it will be a case of watching all the airports and borders to see which one Chris Roberts makes a break for, first.

other goons have said it before, but getting sued by Crytek and them shutting the project down is the best possible outcome for Chris it introduces a new primary antagonist, lets Chris off the hook from delivering a shitshow, and he gets a potential stay of execution. if the case is dismissed, Chris gets a long march back to the salt mines, where he can chip away a few measly centimetres further before the tunnel caves in or someone else hauls him up and metaphorically shoots him in the head

Pixelemonade is back baby. gently caress yes. Finally good honest news from a trusted news source. Though their name is significantly dumber than pixelemonade.  It’s ok though, I look forward to a fresh year of Shakleton Ear Nose and Throat news stories totally critical of Star Citizen and purely factual.

Mirificus posted:https://twitter.com/RobCoxxy/status/961346106197233665 I’ve never been able to wrap my head around how there can ever be a contract with a vendor that handles thousands of different accounts and they tell you can have to exclusively use their engine, people think the vendor is going to suddenly burn everything with all other accounts because “we got one that might make money some day!” This is like going to buy a car from Ford and they give you an exclusive contract for a good deal if you market for them, and somehow you wonder why they haven’t destroyed all the other Fords in the world and burned down their factories because they made a deal with you for a marketing campaign and gave you a new car at a huge discount, possibly even free, if just for the advertising options.

hot balls man no homo posted:CIG's lawyers are going to point blank ask Chris if the game is still using Cryengine and Chris is going to say "of course not!" as buckets of flop sweat gush from under his toupee. I almost feel bad for them but less so if they made sure to get paid in advance. CIG I.O.U.s are about as legit as their capitol ship sales. I think he’ll lie, but he won’t sweat. He’ll lie very convincingly. And everybody will in the end wonder if he was just misled by his poor underlings who evilly plotted against his success. I’m pretty sure Beer4TheBeerGod did a great psychoanalysis sort of thing on the Chris Roberts personality and how he believes his lies before he looks millions in the eyes and says them like pure truth distilled.

I really love this. The lawsuit is such a clean canvas upon which everyone’s biases are so starkly painted. Judge Gee might very well find the dispute about a space game interesting due to being the daughter of an aerospace engineer. She might as easily be appalled if she familiarizes herself with the business model or corporate history. Or she might not care one whit for games entirely. None of it should matter with respect to her judgments. It’s a courtroom, she’s a judge, and impartiality is her duty and mandate. The presumption that she will happily favor the defendant because ”Spaaaaaace!” is Zealot positivity bias in the extreme. And if, somehow, she does not dismiss the case, she will quickly be deemed idiot because ”Women!” or whatever and we’ll see even more brushes on those clean canvases.
