Guys, isn't it obvious? Clearly CIG was able to do things with CryEngine that CryTek only could dream of. So, this is their way to get their own engine back, upgraded and enhanched and all. It's a brilliant move. Now Chris will get Amazon involved as well, because Amazon doesn't want to lose the benefits of the enhancements made by CIG as well. How can you not see this? Clearly you don't know anything about game development. Derek is just spreading FUD. Again!

Somehow, although it being good music, it doesn't feel right. This thread right now needs some serious poo poo with 180 BPM at least. Some hardcore on dope kinda.

Skipping ahead a few dozen pages to ask

- if cig is found to have breached their agreement with crytek , would that mean all the money they received from the UK government to make a game be due to be returned ?

Technically it sounds like to me the game they are making is going to be legally poo poo canned , so all that government hand out money would be deemed to not be cigs since they essentially lied to obtain it

I don't think so. They get tax benefits for creating/maintaining jobs. They did create jobs and paid those people salaries. It's not that they claimed to create jobs, got the tax credit, but never actually did create the jobs.

From the FDev forum
This is from user 'ZeeWolf' posted in response to a question about Erin's comment that they'd bought the engine outright. This is all over my head e: but seems to be saying that the license is perpetual? As in you don't get to terminate it?

No, you buy the right to use the product (code). As long as the code company exists, you have to pay them for the license. Now, if the code company were to fall over, you have build a product based on code from a company that no longer can support/maintain that code. That will kill your business as well in the long run. In case that happens, you have the right to use the code as were it your code. So even if the original code company doesn't exist anymore, you can add, change, upgrade etc. the code yourself. But you can't do that as long a the original code company exists. Is basically a guarantee that you can use somebody elses code without risking you company along the way too.

This might has been a guess that Chris took. If CryTek would go bankrupt, he could have continued to use his custom CE code without having to pay for it. That's probably why he didn't pay them, just waiting for them to fall over and having an engine for free. When Amazon saved CryTek, Chris knew he was hosed and had to pay CryTek. By switching to Lumberyard, he tried to avoid those costs. Probably.

Even that is not going to happen. The only people who believe that CIG actually is worth anything are those idiotic backers still refusing to see that our one and only lord and saviour was right. Nobody at Amazon gives a gentle caress about Star Citizen.

Just caughtupwiththethread.gif over a few days on the mobile on intermittent wifi whilst travelling abroad.

So if I've got this right:

3.0 has been released to all backers and is jank filled gently caress fest
A delayed SQ42 trailer/gameplay thing has been released and is pretty in places with some good music, but has no game play
There has been an abundance of rubbing

There has been so much rubbing that the term dry rub now has new meaning.

honourable mention to mjotto who got it but didn't translate (plaudite translates as applause, the traditional exhortation to Roman Audiences at the end of a play) and Ponzi who translated it as "Drama" but, my understanding is that it translates more directly to "play" hence... uncle Derek wins the internet points. lol.

I let Derek win, since he has been losing on all fronts basically the whole of 2017. And I'm hoping for a free LOD key in return. After he's back from Disneyworld of course.
