Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääWait, the site says "ZDoom" now, not GZDoom. The project's name has shortened up or some?

From the download page of that site:

ZDoom now comes in multiple flavours! The primary port, GZDoom, sports advanced hardware (OpenGL) and enhanced software rendering capabilities, while the port LZDoom serves as an alternative with a different feature set, detailed below. Although the parent ZDoom codebase has been discontinued, the latest official release is available here for posterity.

I'm not a fan. I have a feeling that subscription services—whether in the form of access to a library of content or monthly media bundles—lead to even less influence on the markets by the consumer. You end up paying for all kinds of stuff you'd rather not support, and niches are marginalized even further. Especially if these subscriptions replace more traditional market models, like they've largely done for music and films. (Not that those markets weren't broken already.)

I know my disinterest in media subscriptions of any sort (Netflix, Spotify, Humble Monthly etc.) is probably considered weird, but despite the obvious convenience, I don't think they're worth the downsides for us or the majority of artists and developers. These services are a goldmine for big retailers and publishers, obviously, and superficially they seem like a good deal, but I'm not sure that they're good for us in the long run.

Looking at the cyberpunk setting I wouldn't be surprised if the name comes from Gibson's classic Sprawl trilogy.

Quoting: hardpenguinBrave soul, I hope they will prevail.

He wont he may win and they may say okay keep your code up but remove all of our assets from the game which we do own

Assets are not included in the codebase. As Liam says in the article, you need to own the game or this engine is useless.

I'll do another partial quote:

Quoting: Guestrefunds can only go to your steam wallet too

I'll stay out of the bigger discussion, but I'd like to point out that this part isn't actually true. You can choose to get the refund to your Steam wallet or the original payment method (credit card / Paypal). I think this is required by law in at least my part of the EU. I don't know if this applies to partial refunds or complete transactions only.

Quoting: Guestwow everyone here is a game developing expert and a marketing expert and a legal expert!
I wonder where do you all find the time to play games?

You again? :smile:

Well he's clearly an expert at spotting experts. Maybe he works in HR?

But seriously, I wonder if I'm actually allowed to talk about games with strangers. I'm certainly no gaming expert. An enthusiast at best.

Quoting: Doc AngeloThey really died when IGN bought them.

Huh? I mean, IGN being involved in anything is just generally a bad thing.
But afaik, they are not involved in Humble Bundle, but some other bundle site? I might be wrong, though.

IGN acquired Humble Bundle in 2017.

Yeah I think they might be mixing up their backends.
