Back in 2017, we informed you about Crytek’s lawsuit against Cloud Imperium. In case you weren’t aware of, Crytek sued Cloud Imperium for violating a contract. Cloud Imperium responded in 2018 to that lawsuit, eliminating virtually all of Crytek’s claims. And today, it has come to our attention that the companies have settled their case out of court.
We don’t usually share such news, however, we’ve been following this lawsuit from the beginning. So yeah, I believe we should share this settlement (as it basically marks the end of the lawsuit).
According to the Notice of Settlement, Crytek and Cloud Imperium have reached an agreement in principle of terms to settle this action in its entirety. In addition, the companies are working to document the terms of their agreement.
At this point, we don’t know any additional details regarding this settlement. Cloud Imperium has insisted that it hasn’t violated its contract with Crytek. Whether this has changed is something we aren’t currently aware of.
It will be interesting to see whether Cloud Imperium or Crytek will shed some light regarding this settlement. On the other hand, it’s at least good knowing that both Star Citizen and Squadron 42 are now “safe“.

Crytek getting a slice of that sweet crowdfunded money. lmao
They lost 3 times in a raw as per US Court decision over past two years and what was remaining was at best laughable. They had nothing in hands and try to save what remain of their reputation by not disclosing the fact they won’t get their half M$ deposit and won’t ever be able to raise a new claim.
Good job on Crytek, i hope its a large sum.
If they settled that means Crytek got paid. They refused to at first becouse the sum wasnt to their liking. Do you even understand how lawsuits work?
Only damage control i see here is you replying to everyone foaming at the mouth. You make things up to suit your argument, nothing you mentioned has been confirmed to be true. Crytek has to pay CIG? Like WTH are you even going on about?
No. Settlement does not mean Crytek get a cent.
It just means they agree to something. Knowing Crytek lsot three times in a raw over the past 2 years, nothing was remaining.

Fuq Them Both. 2 pieces of schitt fighting over who should get back in the AZZhole.
Last news I read about this had Crytek on the losing side and down the rabbit hole. With this settlement I do wonder who is getting paid
Crytek is not getting one cent.
Just watch “Explosive! Crytek Tucks Tail, CIG Locks the Door” on youtube at timestamp 21.28 where CIG responds to Cryteck’s motion for voluntary dismissal.
Crytek never had a chance from the start in their claims. Just a desperate move on their behalf to try to snatch a few dollars from CIG’s pocket.
It will be more interesting to see at least Squadron 42 getting released.
uh, yeah they are. that’s what “settling out of court” means. Crytek are the accusers so settling out of court means CIG is paying Crytek some F off money to be done with the legal shenanigans. Crytek won.
