Quoting: stee1ratNot available in Russia. I guess I will have to pirate it, even though I would really like to support the authors.

How is game availability in Russia nowadays? Is it depending on the game?

I need to make a confession. I bought a Steam Deck just because I found it cool, without an actual use case for it. Yesterday, sitting in the bed playing "Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack" [External Link], I found that I do have a use case. :)

The version they sold for Linux before was an impertinence, though.

Godot 4.0 is the update though, your waiting time will be 50% lower!

Quoting: slaapliedjeOne more launcher, one more account they want you to make... why? So they can have an email address? So they can have names? What is the purpose? So they can sell you more shit? It is like going to a store to purchase something then being annoyed by people standing inside trying to sell you other things from a different store.

I actually had this once. The collectors in a drug store had to ask everybody if they want to buy a chocolate bar, too.
(Guess which drug store franchise didn't exist many more years.)

Quoting: BmsiHi can I use this game with VR mod I end this game in VR mod and I love to have 3d monster in my game

Yes, users on moddb have confirmed it works great with GZDoom VR, and it also works in QuestZDoom for Oculus/Meta Quest 2.

I would have been very surprised if VR Doom would not exist. :D

Quoting: elmapulif an program only work on an older version of windows, and an important government file only open on this program, and the company who made the program already gone bankrupt, how is the government suppose to open the file once this version of windows is no longer supported?

Grooming the data from time to time, or use a disconnected PC with an outdated OS - like everybody else.

Quoting: elmapulof course i understand that no company should be forced to support an old api/abi forever, but an government can stabilish an reasonable minimum time as an law, especially when the company who made the software has an monopoly (as microsoft have) have and the government got traped into using it back in the days governments knew nothing about computers to build their it infrastrcuture.
imagine if an government couldnt control their own drones in an war because microsoft said so? or if they had to use an unsuported operating system?
an company margin for profit can really be prioritized over peoples lifes?

we are paying companies for whatever they want to charge with public money, and they got to decide for how long they plan to support one of their system after lock us inside?

I'm with you that minimum support times should be enforced. (EU is at this topic, by the way.) But I'd say something like 10 years for PC stuff is good enough. And I don't think governments should use their power just for their own good/self-inflicted problems. They can care for their data and software just like everybody else. And, you won't be surprised here, I'd recommend that they use FLOSS software more.

Quoting: elmapulthey cant legaly completely drop support for something used by millions

Of course they can. What global law are you referring to that obligates a company to support well announced end-of-life products??

do you forgot that governments use windows?
they can make laws like that if they feel like they are being harmed by an company pratice.

Something doesn't become illegal because they could make a law, but only when they actually did.

And, my opinion: Microsoft is not doing the job that bad. Of course, Debian is doing it better, but I wouldn't expect that much from a profit oriented company.
