Whenever I see an extinct animal from the past few hundred years I get tremendously sad that we’ll never have the opportunity to listen to a David Attenborough documentary about them.

Sure, but that logic applies to every single closed sourced software/system ever.

Seems this is a non-issue.

Completely agree, and entitled gamers are some of the worst. Though I don’t think that should completely excuse our dev here from handling it poorly. They made their product worse and then was surprised when things got worse. Ultimately it’s their prerogative for which systems they choose to develop. Fortunately there are alternatives.

make free open source software

people repackage for their distros

get mad when you receive support requests for outdated packages

change license to prevent further repackages

Linux users continue using old version to avoid restrictive license change

Continue to receive support requests for old packages before license change

crash out

Am I doing this right?

Yes, let them fight.

I say unless they’re using the exact same assets, then who cares. People will play the better game.

You seem very concerned with being recognized for your contributions to the community. This isn’t a good look. I’ll save us both some time with a block.

Edit - OP deleted comment:

Dude. You turned this into a status game. Everyone here can see what’s happening: I’ve been around, contributed, engaged like a real human. You? You showed up five days ago and already act like you run the place. You know I’m not a bot. But instead of being part of the conversation, you’re posturing-like some self-declared gatekeeper no one asked for. Who exactly do you think you are?

Also a bit odd to bring up account creation date as if it improves your status - this is the internet, no “cojones” needed.

I make no claims for what you are. I said it reads like .

Very generous of you to give games away to the community for free. Thanks for your contributions. A bit odd to bring it up though.

This reads exactly like an astroturfing bot post lol
