fuck it, I'll buy it, see how it goes

2018-02-23 13:49:39 UTC  

looks like something that works more with a partner or a squad

God only knows where they got the idea or money for this growth but it was a giant mistake and it's kind of shocking that it didn't put them completely out of business within a couple of years.

>From the outside it looks like Crytek wanted to become the next UbiSoft. The problem with that is UbiSoft was much bigger than Crytek when Ubi started it's large growth cycle. Essentially as soon as Ubi got that Tom Clancy license and they used it to make some pretty epic games back in the day they became set.

but we'll see. I usually wind up lone wolfing most fuckin' games which is entertaining and an extra challenge in of itself

2018-02-23 13:50:42 UTC  

Crytek sounds like it's fallen into the trap that most companies (and indeed nations) can fall into

2018-02-23 13:50:45 UTC  

expanding too quickly

2018-02-23 13:50:46 UTC  

>Apparently, when CIG decided to break away from CryEngine, that was a breach of Crytek's partnership with CIG.

2018-02-23 13:51:07 UTC  

Even the company that makes (*made) those red cups you see in every frat house party expanded too fast and busted itself

2018-02-23 13:51:43 UTC  

come to think of it

2018-02-23 13:51:48 UTC  

I think youtuber law has covered a lot of this too

2018-02-23 13:51:59 UTC  

yup, four fuckin' videos

2018-02-23 13:52:00 UTC  

lel

`You just tore apart their case without even seeing CIG's response or the GLA.

Bravo.

Can't wait to see your update to this!`

2018-02-23 13:52:41 UTC  

oof

2018-02-23 13:52:48 UTC  

It's confusing what exactly was going on, but the essence is, Crytek was going bankrupt, so they turned litigious.

2018-02-23 13:53:15 UTC  

welp, let's see if this Hunt game bails them out

2018-02-23 13:53:18 UTC  

never even heard of it

2018-02-23 13:53:21 UTC  

Star Citizen was its lifeline, apparently.

2018-02-23 13:53:26 UTC  

until I saw it pop up on my steam feed

2018-02-23 13:53:48 UTC  

I still download updates for Verdun, even though I still haven't played it

2018-02-23 13:53:49 UTC  

yay me

2018-02-23 13:54:00 UTC  

too many games, not enough time

2018-02-23 13:54:04 UTC  

tragedy.

2018-02-23 13:54:21 UTC  

I just started a Stellaris 2.0 playthrough.

2018-02-23 13:54:31 UTC  

mm

2018-02-23 13:54:33 UTC  

games like that interest me

2018-02-23 13:54:49 UTC  

but I also know how much time they sapped from me back in a time when I had more time to actually play games

2018-02-23 14:08:44 UTC  

13 gigs

2018-02-23 14:08:50 UTC  

welp, guess I'm not playing tonight

2018-02-23 16:46:39 UTC  

6 gigs to go..

2018-02-23 18:00:37 UTC  

What's your internet speed?

2018-02-23 18:47:06 UTC  

Australian

2018-02-23 19:27:37 UTC  

What's with the screeching over Kingdom Come?

2018-02-23 19:28:05 UTC  

Dev became a target for SJWs

2018-02-23 19:28:08 UTC  

Dev told them to fuck off

2018-02-23 19:29:47 UTC  

Ah, i see
