The wording is suspect for that clause. The lawsuit says:
"Section 2.1.2 of the GLA states that Defendants have a license only to 'exclusively embed CryEngine in the Game.'"
The term "exclusive" means what in this case? They can only use CryEngine in this game (and not embed it in other games) or they are forced to only use CryEngine in this game to the exclusion of all other game engines. The second interpretation is not common in my opinion.
There are a lot of other provisions that may be more solid. This particular one seems suspect.
- bonesss 9y agoWorking backwards: The Game [Star Citizen], that embeds the engine [CryEngine], does so to the exclusion of others. Ie: the couldn't start on CryEngine, get free demos, then actually use Unreal Engine for the rest of the game. The second interpretation is the only that makes sense, as the sentence is qualified for just Star Citizen. It's pretty clear in legal terms, and very clear in context that the exclusivity refers the there being a single, exclusive, engine.
