It just occured to me, what’s the chance this gets used as an excuse to not show any SQ42 content on the upcoming anniversary stream? Crytek’s claim is that SQ42 was never licensed to use CryEngine (which happened the moment CIG decided to split it as a stand-alone product SKU. I can see CIG backing out of showing anything in the next few months under the cover of not being able to while responding Crytek’s claim.

The judge hasn’t ruled on the injunction, and CIG/RSI has 20 days to respond to the lawsuit. So no, there is no chance they skip from not showing the trailer they’ve been threatening.

Fucking lol! Sign up again to receive updates for something you already pledged for four years ago that you should have been receiving updates for all along. So transparent. So open.

Hey, big announcement! Sign up for minor announcements of this vaporware scam! Lol.

More likely they’re checking to see which backers are still paying attention, so they can squeeze them for more cash. :P

Yes. It’s hilarious that you find this odd. We’re used to this, man.

Polygon updated their story, and added another $16K backer looking for a refund and taking legal action

I had to read twice that email this morning to make sure I had understood correctly that they were asking me to sign up for another newsletter.

I’m guessing CR is working on his book/script for the movie about the making of the non-game, he always did want to direct movies, didn’t he?

This is just a 170$m NaNoWriMo.

That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

I was just thinking that! I bet it’s been a decade since I last thought about Fatbabies.
