Space TomatoHOST
I want to talk a little bit about the overall AI and your opinions of it, with the context for, I guess, viewers that Francesco Ricucci, who is working on this in a big way, I guess kind of leading the initiative on AI at CIG, originally came from Crytek and helped to kind of carry the development of that system through CryEngine, onward into CIG, and now through StarEngine.
Space TomatoHOST
Were you able to ask him at all or hear any details about how that might have improved the AI, the fact that they've been able to have such a long term shot at developing it? Or if there was any just like if any benefits came from his long experience with it?
En1gm4ticGUEST
I would say the biggest thing that would benefit and does benefit any game is iterations over your development time.
Corey DirrigHOST
Where's that sequel?
Josh FinneyHOST
Dead, like Crytek.
Josh FinneyHOST
Aw, rip.
Josh FinneyHOST
I actually really love Crytek, so.
Josh FinneyHOST
What else do we have? Let's see if we have anything else we need to touch on tonight or not.
Corey DirrigHOST
That engine now exists at Amazon called Lumberyard.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
Let's talk about them.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
Crytek is the other company.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
I didn't even know that, that Crytek makes games anymore.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
InnoGames got to the top ten.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
Yes, from Hamburg.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
I was looking at this list, and I was like, "Who's missing? Who's really, like, doing [chuckles] predatory monetization?" Oh, all the Chinese companies.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
Ah, EU doesn't care about that.
Mishka KatkoffHOST
Let's, uh, let's attack Crytek.
Jesper KydGUEST
But there's a lot of demo groups that came out.
Jesper KydGUEST
Remedy came out of the demo scene in Finland, Crytek in Germany, Housemarque in Finland.
Jesper KydGUEST
There's all these video game developing companies that have history in the demo scene.
Jesper KydGUEST
Um, so-
Odette AldrichGUEST
Yeah
JeffHOST
... by the people who made, like, I think Crysis and Cry-- like, I think it was Crytek or someone.
JeffHOST
So they, like, they were using, like, trying to show, like, their engine and stuff for shooters or whatever, and they're like, "Let's build a puzzle game." Especially, like, the ending scene here of you, uh, of, of the-
Odette AldrichGUEST
Yeah.
Matt RiceGUEST
I, uh, I had that at plenty of companies.
Matt RiceGUEST
You know, I applied to Crytek.
Matt RiceGUEST
Um, and uh, I think they could, they could, they could tell.
Matt RiceGUEST
They could tell that, like, I knew their games.
Rich LeadbetterHOST
If you're going to be bringing back Crysis.
Rich LeadbetterHOST
And I'm going to go further here, and I'm going to say, NVIDIA, speak to Crytek.
Rich LeadbetterHOST
You know, making money hand over fist with GPUs at the moment for the AI sector.
Rich LeadbetterHOST
How about giving something back to gamers? How about a game that's kind of like a partnership between Crytek and NVIDIA where, you know, let's make it PC exclusive.
Rich LeadbetterHOST
like the original was back in the day.
Rich LeadbetterHOST
Let's use the most cutting-edge technologies and features to make this game everything it can possibly be and get it out there, right? And it's not going to be cheap.

The CPC Network has launched coordinated enforcement actions against games companies, including King, Supercell, Mojang, Riot, Activision Blizzard, and Ubisoft over how they sell and handle in-game virtual currencies.
Neil LongHOST
Crytek, InnoGames, Plarium, and PLR Worldwide are also named in this action.
Neil LongHOST
These guys are a group of consumer protection authorities from across the EU and EEA coordinated by the European Commission.
Neil LongHOST
In a joint statement published September 30th, it said it had found a high number of video game companies had made no substantive changes to their practices since it published non-binding key principles on in-game currencies in March 2025.
Craig ChappleHOST
So, but then just quickly to set up.
Craig ChappleHOST
So they have asked Activision Blizzard, Crytek, Inner Games, King, Mojang, Plarium, PLR Worldwide Sales, Riot Games, Supercell, and Ubisoft to bring their commercial practices in line relating to in-game virtual currencies to these principles.
Craig ChappleHOST
And the games being assessed include Hunt Showdown, Forge of Empires, Candy Crush Saga, Minecraft, Mecha Arena, Gardens Gates, Valorant, Clash of Clans, For Honor, Diablo Immortal, and Call of Duty Mobile.
Craig ChappleHOST
But, like, basically, to kind of sum that part up, it sounds really dramatic when you read the press release.
