Last month Crytek filed suit against Cloud Imperium and Roberts Space Industries for violating their contract for CryEngine. CIG filed a motion seeking dismissal, and today Crytek responded. Crytek pulls no punches in its response, fully outlining the broken promises from CIG. Some of the complaints include; switching development platforms, splitting "Squadron 42" into its own game when only having one license for CryEngine, and publishing source code of Crytek technology, and others.
Just another episode in the soap opera that is Star Citizen. At this point I don't think they will make that 2014 release date. Maybe they will get Squadron 42 out for that late 2017 release..wait.... You can read the full text of the court filing here.
Defendants say this action should never have been filed. Indeed, if only they had kept their promises, the action would never have ben filed. But now Crytek seeks to enforce its contractual rights and copyrights. Defendants deny any enforceable obligation to Crytek and move the court to dismiss Crytek’s claim entirely. Defendants’ argument simpy do not withstand scrutiny, and certainly cannot meet the demanding standard required to obtain dismissal of Crytek’s claims as a matter of law. The court should deny Defendants’ Motion and permit Crytek to proceed so that it may vindicate its rights.
