Yeshu: So basically some no name lawyer thinks he could make it big and brags about it on the Internet.

ZFR: It's not even known if he's a lawyer. [..]

I read about it 2 days ago on a Polish news site that mentioned "an alleged lawyer". I love it that by the time it reached the OP's NYTimes it turned into "Lawyers and investors". This is priceless.
I'm afraid it's no longer just one guy on a forum.

OK, at least these are something concrete.

kohlrak: Linux itself is in danger by this, but i doubt it'll completely disappear because of it.

As for HTML, it has changes and deprecation issues. Good luck.

But, that's also why i suggest C: it's the glue that holds everything together, and it's also all that's really what you need for basic mathematics and parsers. It's also one of the more basic programming languages out there.

what exactly are you using for an external card based system?

Zrevnur: What are you referring to with the C++ / Linux comments? You somehow make it sound like end of world is coming but I have no idea what you mean...
I wish i knew more specific details, but there's a movement within ISO (which now controls C++) to remove "backwards compatibility" both in code syntax and in ABI (that thing that allows us to merge code from different programming languages into the same binaries or to use the same DLL/SO files). This means language features could become deprecated, and boilerplate c or assembly code could become a problem between versions. Thus, anything made with C++ not only might have to constantly refactor, but also alot of different versions of binaries may be necessarily maintained. Rumor has it, but i've only seen talk, not actual proof, that some representative from Google is behind it because they couldn't get Go to be popular, so they're trying to turn C++ into Go.

Those looks more serious at least.

We will see how it end up, that said let's remember than even if it goes to court, that CDPR end up being found guilty, it can takes years before it is resolved. So even in the absolute worse possible outcome it's not like CDPR will close next week.

They wouldn't anyway: they'd just change top management.
The game is buggy on old console it's a fact, but the investors should sue themself for putting deadline, if you let developpers finish their games, you probably never have this situation.

I mean. They tried to sue Hallo Games for the same thing when No Man's Sky came out.

It went no where and the game is now a best seller do to regular updates.
Game industry has most definitely changed, its just me but did we just jump over "review/feedback" phase straight into drama? Things were sure different like 10 year back. Yeah. from hype straight to drama, The game itself is losing it meaning.

At least one guy here who has some sense. I'm sure that CDPR will fix all the console issues. It really sucks for costumers whenever a faulty game is released but I'm certain that they will fix all those issues in time.

At any case, back in 2016 when I wrote that NMS is gonna be a best seller within a year or two because Sean (The lead dev/face of NMS) said in an interview that they wanted to patch the game to make up for people waiting for so long and to deliver the game in the way that they imagined it (a ton of data got lost in a flooding during development). Basically everyone who know about the game before it became a controversy was sure that the game was going to be patched. They didn't care, with most even enjoying the game before the foundation patch. At any case, I got laughed at for doing wishful thinking but all I did was quote the dev.

I'm just glad that I'm on not entirely emotionally driven when coming up with random crap and actually watch interviews. It was fairly obvious that the game is going to get updated and I'm happy that Hello Games are still going for it

I do feel bad about the NMS dev team though. All that emotionally draining crap that people threw at them that probably did cost some development time when it came to the updates. Especially Atlas Rising but thats just my own piece of speculation.

EDIT: Added a few things, I also didn't imply that people posting here are not sensible I just was hyperbolic. Its just that sueing CDPR is a bit extreme and that people are reaching so far goes to show just how drama-driven the entire Cyberpunk debacle is. That it reaches so far goes really showcases just how loaded people are when it comes to quickly provoking and thus causing drama like that. I hope that any issue regarding the game will be fixed however (they did so with The Witcher 3, there is no reason to assume otherwise regarding Cyberpunk). I'm also glad seeing comments who're worried about CDPR and its not primarily the "burn it to the ground" folks.

EDIT 2: I wish I wouldn't need to write disclaimers like that. Usually people get mad at me only if the shoe fits but nowadays things are silly and people WANT to get mad for whatever reason and being mad online is the daily sport for many people. I don't want that to happen here so if you read this. Hopefully some people on here who understand this and didn't take anything I wrote the wrong way! Have a nice day at any case. Also I write like a Baby Boomer, I feel old.

I think here, in particular, you catch something that we're discussing in another post. What causes this rage behavior other than low tolerance? I mean, look, to me the lawsuit is about potentially changing the upper structure of GOG for the better (possibly for the worst). Everyone else here is focusing on GOG itself. Both ways of looking at it, those who are hopeful are out for blood. Why? Because we're pissed about one thing or another. But, then, realize, how many people are only angry because of CP2077, not Galaxy, not Devotion, not regional pricing, etc? Those people are out for blood, just for a bad launch of a game. And i do mean, they're not just looking to be mad, they're out there to cause (figurative) bloodshed by asking for people to have their jobs removed.

Now, for my own little disclaimer, i hope it gets settled out of court, and that the board learns from this and changes their behavior in such a way that we don't know whether or not the bloodshed happened or not. GOG's pot needs stirred, but i i think a slowly escalating chain of events like this could lead to change without removal of people. I'm more interested in stirring the pot than anything, but peacefully, rather than a bunch of people loosing their jobs, might be more appropriate. But, hey, i'll pick up my pitchfork, too. Let's lynch Frankenstein's monster!

EDIT: *reads previous posts* OK, maybe i do need to calm down a bit before posting.

.Ra: Lawyers and investors in Warsaw are circling the situation, contemplating a class-action lawsuit against the company for what one attorney described as potential criminal “misrepresentation in order to receive financial benefits.”

Yeah, what New Woke Times says is always true and reliable, and always has been...like when they reported the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki posed no health threat in the aftermath.
The New Woke Times have a long history of "truth".

tbh most of the outdated media is garbage now , they have 0 creditability, even UFO magazines wouldn't post some of their made up stories
Here's the actual court document:-

Parasites interested in leeching CDPR. They don't care about players' satisfaction. Unnerving news.
