Sarsapariller posted:If you want to maximize your in-game profits you auto-load because filling up 600+ crates by hand will eat more time than 60 regular cargo runs. I think deep down Citizens know this, they're just so enamored of the shiny tech toy that they have to find some way to cram it into the dream. What they want, in reality is the same as every other sandbox mmo enthusiasts is for other players to be forced to be a box loader for them. They want to know the immersion exists, but it won't be THEM getting paid basically nothing to load cargo. Nearly every other sandbox MMO is populated with these idiots who wonder why no one wants to be a horse holder in real time.

Scruffpuff posted:They're grasping at the most tenuous straws now. I think Kojima, whether you like his stuff or not, has an established history of delivery. If it takes him 6 years, you know for the entire time that he's making progress, has a plan, knows how to do it, and will get it done. This also just basically ignores that Kojima has produced, directed, and/or written a game that has released every year for the past goddamn 20 years.

Also it's illegal and punishable to file meritless law suits in the state of California. I'm sure Skadden knows this, and I seriously doubt they would've filed if they didn't think they could win. Of course "use CryEngine" is vague and who knows what the agreement says or escape hatches it has, but I'm unwilling to just dismiss this out of hand. Also an injunction is an interesting question. On the one hand they are currently distributing the supposedly breaching work. On the other hand the induction would severely limit CIG's ability to pay a potential suit and damage it's IP greatly, which neither side really wants (probably, since presumably Cry wants paid)

Just to be clear, it is super common to get the source code for a big-boy graphics / game engine. That doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want with it.

have these people actually read the complaint? Maybe they don't actually read or do anything except post on reddit. maybe that's why the game is good. none of them have played it so to them its as good as they are told.

Eldragon posted:Depends on the company. I've worked under three different software firms that have a "anything you code in your spare time, we own it too" clause as part of the employment contract. I know this is getting into derail territory; but I was under the impression that much like tech non-competes, these sorts of clauses ended up being basically unenforceable. Also they can have the sorts of poo poo I code in my spare time.

SpaceCurtisLeMay posted:That’s not how Contract law works. If CiG never amended their 2013 contract to the new terms then CIG is still bound by the old licensing agreement. Not to mention that the CryENGINE standard agreement says you can't remove the logos (and that theirs has to be at least as large as yours). So they still boned.

Chalks posted:Wow. Games have had this technology for decades but CIG claimed it was brand new - and now we know why. They have no idea what they're doing so they've re-engineered the whole concept from scratch and done it in a really stupid way. What is supposed to be new about this clip? Engines have been doing everything I see there for at least 5 years, even the fiddly bits. idgi? EDIT: Hell, the lighting looks faked, and the texture normal map is obviously hosed up (that's the two pieces on the side that look mis-colored under the flashlight.) It looks like there's texture missing behind the shadow behind the desk (the checkerboard). Also it looks like it's billboarded cause it follows the camera.

PederP posted:In what bizarro reality does PC gaming need saving? Where does this strange hatred of consoles come from? I much prefer PC gaming, but I've owned a few consoles as well, and I can't really see the conflict. There was a brief period where PC games, especially in the US, were close to disappearing from stores and malls. But that's like 10-20 years ago now, and was a short interlude. PC gaming need to be saved from the PC police and the modern world, and go back to a time when everyone who gamed was just like CIG fans. I think this is actually what they believe. (ignore that PC gaming was never really just for pasty white boys)

Given previous experience with poo poo like this, almost assuredly someone (Crobberts?) probably said "fix these two minor things for the stream tomorrow" yesterday, and the devs with basically no sleep, etc. broke like _everything_ instead and there was no time to roll back before the live stream started.

Latin Pheonix posted:One of my first thoughts was that this might be a carrot to attract/retain talent given their abysmal recruiting record, but as you say, why dilute the ordinary shares instead of just creating a new class? Maybe they couldn't be bothered to amend their company articles to create a new class of share? They're based on model articles after all... I've known small (read 5 employee) business owners to illegally classify their employees as (voting?) share holders in order to not be required pay them overtime. It would take balls to do it at this scale tho.

My favorite part of the stream was where none of the animations were lerped. lerping between animations is like rule -2 of working with 3d animation scripts. (lerping is linear interpolation, where you make sure the model doesn't jitter between animation scripts. It's _built in_ to most engines. )
