Crytek suing over CIS's use of the Cryengine
https://www.polygon.com/2017/12/13/1...engine-lawsuit
Quote:
In December 2016, CIG and RSI said they were moving off of CryEngine 3 in favor of Amazon’s Lumberyard product. But the complaint filed by Crytek says that’s not the case. Looking carefully at CIG and RSI’s own marketing materials, show lines of code on the screen that seem to indicate the games are running, at least partially, on CryEngine 3.
Making matters even more complicated is the fact that Amazon’s Lumberyard is, in fact, a fork of the CryEngine itself purchased by Amazon.
The lawsuit goes on to say that CIG and RSI improperly removed the CryEngine logo when the game boots up, and that the teams failed to properly disclose modifications to CryEngine 3 as part of their licensing agreement.
But the lawsuit doesn’t stop there. As we reported in 2016, CIG and RSI began selling two distinct games — Squadron 42 and the Star Citizen Persistent Universe. Crytek says that since both use the same code, that constitutes using the engine twice and represents a further breach of contract.
Crytek is asking for direct damages, indirect damages and a permanent injunction to prevent CIG and RSI “from continuing to possess or use the Copyrighted Work.” That could mean poring over the code of an incredibly complex game
