Quoting: Quote from stanit's -> its
Fixed, I blame it on being ill.

Quoting: Quote from ShmerlI really don't like when expansion packs are called DLC. It's such a dumb term, but it caught up for some weird reason...
Well an expansion pack is Downloadable Content isn't it? So it's a correct term to use.

What I hate is when free patches where replaced by DLC.

Loren The Amazon Princess RPG & DLC Released For Linux On Steam

Quoting: Quote from edgleyThe title is a bit misleading as the game has been available directly from Winter Wolves for a long time. It's only new on Steam.

Decent game if you like interactive stories and simplified RPG mechanics though.
Title corrected.

Mutant Gangland Turn Based Strategy game To Hit Early Access This Month & Go Open Source

Quoting: Quote from tigerObviously a rip of the old Game Gear game "Head Buster", but it's even worse since Head Buster had attack animations for all available robots and weapons.

I wonder if the developer was partly inspired by this for some of the unit designs? Hardly a "rip", there are masses of turn based strategy games and plenty came before that game you link to.

Mutant Gangland Turn Based Strategy game To Hit Early Access This Month & Go Open Source

Quoting: Quote from wassersturmCan we please stick with the official definition of the term "Open Source" according to which NC is not acceptable.
That is only "official" if you are part of or follow them. They don't speak for everyone.

Open code is open, open source and free software are different.

Quoting: Quote from WNon-commerical licenses aren't open source though :/ I can understand using an NC license for the artwork, but not the code. That means other people can't start a crowdfunding campaign to hire someone to add new features.
If the source is open, then it is open source as far as I am concerned.

I don't agree that for something to be "open source" it has to have a fully open license. Something can be open source, but still have restrictions on the license, the GPL one of the widest licenses has restrictions in it people seem to forget.
