Love this nugget:

I'll be happy to speculate on the plaintiff's motives, someone wants their pound of flesh from Jeremy's hide. 

But most likely they feel it might help in their pursuit of the real target, Xsolla who actually have the financial assets to actually pay anything back from this fiasco.

"I now want to address the most significant event of Q4. While I won't spend time speculating on their motivations or intended outcomes - as that is not what these blog posts are about - the plaintiff in the dismissed lawsuit against Soulbound Studios appealed their case to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The immediate consequence of that is us being forced to eat (what will likely be) another ~$50k +/- in legal fees and, should the appellate court overturn the lower court's decision, uncertainty about our future and our ability to continue developing CoE.

That said, we are confident in the Magistrate’s recommendation and the U.S. District Court’s ruling and believe the appellate court will come to the same conclusion."

It's pretty hard to muster even the mildest hatred for CoE anymore.  The best I can do is a weak "Go Plaintiffs!".  Then again, we just don't see the same numbers of CoE fanbois here trying to defend this delusional mirage anymore.  Shame.  That might hurt MMORPG.com.

Yeah. When he tries to sell his ridiculous KoE product maybe it will spark some energy to go bring him back to reality, but I just cant get riled up anymore.  He's proven to be utterly pathetic and unworthy of much more than disdain and pity.
