In the case of a car like a Porsche, it will be tuned and outfitted like the track variant, but intended for super rich yuppies to buy to live out their racing dreams on the commute to work, stop light to stop light.

Debating the semantics of how rich people spend money is kind of silly though, considering Chris is still in the 'I have money, but I'm still a pleb' class of citizen, he drives himself to work? What a chump

The $500k one is something your neighbours might notice; the $50k one is what your dog stylist drives. Welcome to the world of cost not being related to “better” or “worse” any more.

Or to paraphrase Christian von Koenigsegg: “you get our car because you don't want something mass-produced that everyone drives, like a Ferrari.” Now, granted, picking a Porsche means you've already debased yourself by picking a tasteless every-man's brand so that price tag just means you've overpaid…

What Parry says, or what his latest iteration said (when I last read the Frontier forum thread, a few hours ago) is this:

They changed nothing with the switch. Their custom code remained intact.

How? They did not switch to LY proper. The LY fork is something still foreign to them and way off if they ever decide to merge with it.

What they did was "switch" to the 3.7 "history point" of LY, which is identical to CryEngine's 3.7 snapshot and is the point where StarEngine was forked out off. And they say "switch", but this amounts to a whole lot of nothing at this stage. Because it's pointless on its own (you literally do nothing --maybe a copy of a license and readme files-- and voila you've switched) and not an actual transition to anything different.

They had gained nothing out of the LY features, but maybe the license and the "right" to say they are on "LY" now... (which I don't think they can technically say that --but they can "sell" it as such apparently).

And they could do that sort of "switch" because, according to Ben, Amazon's license of the CryEngine is for source code that goes further back into the past of CryEngine than the 3.8.x point, where Amazon forked off and made their adjustments/ customizations. So it does include the 3.7 where they "switched".

What Parry's rough paint drawing shows is Star Engine remaining still forked off at the same point (no merging back with LY proper) and *essentially* in its own former branch, completely unaffected from the "switch". The only thing changing in the two drawings is the color of the "base" line which in the "before" is the CryEngine code, and in the after it is still the exact same CryEngine code (until LY's fork) now labeled "LumberYard legacy code or something".

Of course, It's unclear whether this circlejeck (possible but pointless) switch is what actually happened or what Barry thinks (or explained in his own mind to keep it sane) has happened. I sort of tend to believe him, because it matches the whole image of CIG being incompetent and selling this zero-sum switch as a new cooperation with Amazon that was "like for like" (no it wasn't).

Tippis posted:

It's certainly “crazy”. It's also meaningless, and as such explains why they managed to do it in 1–2 days and why they're making such a big deal out of it. CIG has made a business out of delivering nothing — it's only fitting that their big engine upgrades consists of doing absolutely nothing.

My prediction:
They will go for a minimal 3.0 release on July. All or most of the important stuff will be shifted to 3.1, and nope, that is not coming in 2017, and there'll be still too much left to go until 3.2 and certainly 4.0 come 2018.
No SQ42 release whatsoever. Maybe a "demo" for their cons.

Part 2 of that German article is up. SC specific HOTAS is cancelled unless logitech makes a new deal. They lie about the reason it didnt come out. It didn't come out because you cant design a game specific HOTAS if the basic mechanics or controls are not even remotely finalized. It held it up for years. Logitech buying Saitek just finished it off.

What about your opinion on art theft?

Would you show the same leniency towards people who downloaded stock imagery and photoshopped the copy protection logos off?

What about taking characters like the Halo guy and editing it?

I'm curious because you mentioned that everybody is involved in something like this, which I can see, and no doubt corners are being cut at this point because of it all. At what point do you stop and rub your chin and say that these actions have gone a little too far?
