Quoting: Purple Library GuyOne thing to keep in mind is, I bet a lot of those characters are not just copyrighted, but trademarked. And the thing about trademarks is, if you don't maintain them by stopping people from using them, you can lose them. This can push companies to behaviours even more annoying than they would instinctively do on their own.

I don't think that applies here.

You're probably thinking of genericization [External Link] a trademarked name becoming a generic term. Should the trademark holder do nothing to prevent that they might lose the trademark.

Quoting: EriBut you have people paying to play a few days earlier for what?

Streaming possibly? Extra hits for your YouTube channel?

Quoting: IvancilloViewing the description image I thought in this film Sorcerer

Someone actually created a Sorcerer map for Mudrunner! [External Link] The trailer [External Link] is pretty cool with the original movie soundtrack.

It's a pity that the editor doesn't seem to make it possible to use custom assets, to create a proper jungle....

No Wages of Fear [External Link] map sadly :unsure:

I still consider this a clear black swan event! Can we be sure that the real Ben Skeggs haven't been replaced by the same sort of clone that's now impersonating Avril Lavigne!!?

"Poo on Your Parade" :tongue:

It's a lot of fun, and everything seems to be a playable level. I really went to town on the credits sequence with a leaf blower!

That part is almost realistic, crows do actually make and use tools, [External Link] it can only be a question of time before they master power tools...

Quoting: PyrateThe large file size is definitely an issue, and I suspect it'll become even more prominent over time as I keep downlaoding different version of Proton/Wine. Though I imagine in the future we should reach a point where only one Proton version is needed for virtually everything on Steam. And a select few for edge cases outside of Steam. I wonder if it's also possible to reduce Proton/Wine prefix's filesize too.

I would guess that the new, not enabled by default yet, WoW64 mode in Wine would cut down quite a bit on prefix size, and possibly also on prefix creation time.

There was also some interesting patches for reflink but I'm not sure if that work was ever completed?

"When reflink is supported by the underlying filesystem, new Wine prefix
sizes with Mono and Gecko disabled are reduced to less than 1 MB."
