Quoting: BeamboomI don't really understand how they are allowed to, to be honest. How they get away with this. Not plagiarism like this. Even the music sounds like it is like straight from Wipeout!

You cannot copyright the feel, the gameplay style, or the rules of the game. As long as they are not using the code, or the assets from Wipeout, they are in the clear.

And to be honest, I don't believe it is fair to the developer calling it plagiarism. Ideas are a dime a dozen, but making a functional, well balanced, and fun game takes a lot of effort and dedication.

By the same logic SuperTuxCart is plagiarism of Mario Kart, OpenArena is plagiarism of Quake 3, PUBG and Fortnite, Call of Duty and Medal of Honor, etc. World is a better place by not going down this rabbit hole.

Is arcade mode the campaign? Does it have a storyline of any sorts?

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoDistance is superior.
It's a nice game, it's sad there isn't so much people playing it, I should check it out again.

Distance is a very different game from BallisticNG both in gameplay and theme. Distance is basically a platformer with bunch of acrobatics. BallisticNG on the other hand is all about high-speed hovercraft racing. As far as racing games go, they are very much on the opposide side of the spectrum.

Quoting: PatolaEven being a coder, I don't usually appreciate coding games.

Neither do I. I love programming. I love video games. But I seriously dislike programming games. They make me feel like I am getting the satisfaction of neither. I don't feel like I am playing, but neither am I actually achieving anything, because it is all "fake".

Interestingly enough, I once had a chat with an actual trucker who tried getting into Euro Truck Simulator 2, and it made him feel in a similar way. I guess just because you love your work, it doesn't mean that you want more "work" when you play a game.

Even a Linux gamer, who only buys Linux games, would have hard time noticing these smaller games. There is simply so much to choose from. Even on an indie haven such as itch.io it's very hard to get noticed. Probably even harder.

Tough times.

Did I said something like this? All I said is that people who use Arch happened to discover this site more than users of any other distros.

Well technically you didn't say that. But what would make an Arch user more likely to discover this site than let's say an Ubuntu user?

Quoting: DefaultX-odI'm not getting defensive, but you can see there that Arch is the most popular distro, which is not represent the full picture. It's just happened that more users that use Arch discovered this site...

What are you basing this on? People here use a variety of distributions and desktop environments. None of the most popular options are particularly gaming-oriented.

They are offering it, it's just none of DE willing to implement it

What do you mean? Is there something Nvidia-specific they need to implement?
