Ah that would make sense! Theoretically then, I suppose this could actually be quite a big chunk of cash in question - especially with all the allusions to how much money CIG raised for Star Citizen.

tl;dr if you can't be bothered reading through all the legal fidgey widgey - Crytek is claiming CIG breached their contract by doing the following:

- Publishing Squadron 42 as a seperate game (licence was only for one game, Star Citizen)

- CIG fiddled with/remove Crytek's branding in loading screens etc (they weren't supposed to)

- Cryengine was not exclusively used for Star Citizen (apparently it also leverages Lumberyard)

- CIG did not provide bug fixes and optimisations for Cryengine (they were supposed to)

- CIG disclosed Cryengine "secrets" without permission via online videos, and also via collaboration with a third party

Not sure on the amount, the only dollar figure quoted is 'in excess of $75,000'. Not sure if that means $76,000 or $1mil though - IANAL!

> You should see if you can scare Facebook.

In all honesty, you really can't.
