Star Citizen could be in trouble if Crytek gets its way against game developer Cloud Imperium Games (CIG).

It seems that although CIG were contractually prevented from licensing a different game engine to a third-party licensee, there was nothing stopping them from licensing that engine to themselves. The court appears in favour of CIG's pleas for a dismissal, finding that Crytek did not offer strong enough evidence to warrant a trial.
