I wonder if any of those that either removed his work from their games or straight up told him not to bother finishing the work and get out instead will actually react to this sort of thing. Specifically talking about Techland, I know he was doing for them for Dying Light 2 which got scrapped. And wasn't there also something about that eternal abandonware that is Bloodlines 2 as well?

Is there some evidence/statement regarding the fact that they are paying him and not vice versa?

It is so vague some people are no doubt gonna get the wrong idea (he pays them in exchange for the statement!)
The giveaway was the part about them paying his legal expenses. The money in any settlement is going to be going all one way so if they are paying his expenses, they are paying the rest of the settlement as well.

Kreia is the only goddamn RPG character who managed to make a mockery of my metagaming and savescummery by schooling my MC. All hail Avellone!

When Infinitron asked Avellone about it during the May of Rage, he said it was a question for Chris Parker and I'm sure his management style caused all sorts of problems that made Brian want to leave, but a game story not having enough reactivity is a 100% Avellonian complaint. I can't imagine Chris "I get almost got to make Skryim" Parker or Feargus really giving that much of a damn about an RPG not being reactive enough.

wasn't he in the process of being raped by a team of law students? why would they settle so one-sidedly? and what kind of settlement is it if Chris gets all? him getting a mealy mouthed statement in return for buying a lifetime subscription to their onlyfans sounds like a settlement
The Karissa law team were in trouble for that because there were procedures they were supposed to follow and they did not (after signing statements claiming they were familiar with Illinois law).

Nice

I credit David Cernat for the mad amount of time he spent combing through things and trying to help Chris the most, at least on this form, while most of us just lamented.
David helped the good man to prevail in a hard fight and had to suffer terrible abuse while doing so. Restoring your faith in humanity.

I suppose once the suit was filed in the proper location, it emerged immediately that they had nothing to support their claims, while Avellone could pinpoint each and every job that he lost in direct connection to said claims.

It's very onesided as settlements go, in fact it almost sounds like a ruling, so this would be my explanation.

I made the mistake of reading the user posts below the article :eek:. People actual can't comprehend MCA won with prejudice?! They think he paid them or the women didn't really say "nothing happened"?!! Reading comprehension has falling further than I feared. :negative:

Oh, and the headline of that article is sooooo misleading.

I love how this forum cares so much about someone they don't even know personally and won't dare touch them in real life(and in the codex) even with a wooden stick.

Hail to the victor.

Look forward to you rejoining the industry.
You're making a game, you should be the first to offer him a job.

Shit, I'll throw him as much money as I can if I thought he'd actually accept.

But I think he would just be insulted. At least the headlines will be funny.

...Avellone says his recent legal battles has done little to harm his career.

In a just world all these fuckers would be lined against a wall and shot. Look how quickly and gleefully they jump in trying to destroy a man's life.

If you're serious, I'd say just approach him and be entirely upfront about the project.

Maybe just ask him if he'd be interested in writing a character or something small.

He's an adult and he'll make his own decision about whether it's something he wants to be involved in.

Bruv, don't interact with ryzer.

He hates happiness and merriment in all forms. And worst of all - he's fr*nch.
