This is an interesting story about game engine licensing. Crytek is suing Cloud Imperium and Roberts Space Industries, the companies that are producing Star Citizen and Squadron 42. You can head over to DSOG and read the list of complaints against the companies, but what is odd is that those games no longer use the Crytek engine, but Crytek is arguing that it is being rebuffed after considerable investments for the project. Thanks cageymaru.



Cloud Imperium got in touch with us and commented on the story. “We are aware of the Crytek complaint having been filed in the US District Court. CIG hasn’t used the CryEngine for quite some time since we switched to Amazon’s Lumberyard. This is a meritless lawsuit that we will defend vigorously against, including recovering from Crytek any costs incurred in this matter.”
