i thought it was for other reason
Oof.
what i heard, they are suing them because they used the engine for another game that it wasn't in the agreement
On the surface, yeah.
Basically they were offering jobs to the Crytek employees to work on another game. Crytek employees didn't get paid in full or something for a while.
There was quite a bit going on behind the scenes.
where you saw that?
KiA
fuck it, I'll buy it, see how it goes
looks like something that works more with a partner or a squad
>Regardless of that crytek's whole misfortune began and was caused by their odd and sudden rapid expansion a few years ago.
>
>They went from a studio that made Crysis and a pretty good engine to a company with development studios all over the world each working on their own games. 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.

>Crytek doesn't have anything like that. They can't fall back on a license if one of their games is bad. If one of their games is bad it just won't sell.
>
>Such a weird Company who's upper management needs to be purged.
but we'll see. I usually wind up lone wolfing most fuckin' games which is entertaining and an extra challenge in of itself
Crytek sounds like it's fallen into the trap that most companies (and indeed nations) can fall into
expanding too quickly
>Apparently, when CIG decided to break away from CryEngine, that was a breach of Crytek's partnership with CIG.
Even the company that makes (*made) those red cups you see in every frat house party expanded too fast and busted itself
come to think of it
yup, four fuckin' videos
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!`
oof
It's confusing what exactly was going on, but the essence is, Crytek was going bankrupt, so they turned litigious.
welp, let's see if this Hunt game bails them out
never even heard of it
Star Citizen was its lifeline, apparently.
until I saw it pop up on my steam feed
I still download updates for Verdun, even though I still haven't played it
yay me
too many games, not enough time
tragedy.
I just started a Stellaris 2.0 playthrough.
mm
games like that interest me
but I also know how much time they sapped from me back in a time when I had more time to actually play games
13 gigs
welp, guess I'm not playing tonight
