A good first step but to get me interested in even a discount purchase they also have to banish the need for a Bethesda.net account.

I may have interest if Aaron Giles ever makes the project FOSS.

Embracer closes Volition developer of Freespace, Red Faction, Saints Row

Maybe some of the staff work on some FOSS or indie stuff but I won't hold my breath.

Game porter Ethan Lee offers services to maintain old games for developers

Given how poorly most games are supported I hope developers take him up on this.

Quoting: scaineI'd be happy to throw some money his way, but he only accepts donations through GitHub sadly. I'll always love the guy for Salt and Sanctuary, but not enough to make a Microsoft account.

I don't love Github and certainly don't love Microsoft but I prefer Github over say Patreon because I prefer one time donations over recurring. I also like how Github uses Stripe over Paypal unlike some other options. That being said I wish more people and projects used Open Collective.

I'm not a huge point and click fan but I applaud the effort.

Star Labs reveal their new StarLite, a Surface-like Linux tablet

Looks like an interesting machine. That's a nice screen and I love that it has Coreboot support. My only concern is that the wi-fi wouldn't work with the libre kernel but that can be worked around if so.

Downfall is a new 'severe' flaw in Intel CPUs, while AMD deal with INCEPTION

I really need to get my act together and just buy a Talos II. Sure it could have issues as well but at least it's more open so I don't have to rely on closed source microcode updates to fix stuff.

Tencent to get a majority stake in Dying Light dev Techland

I already thought this was bad news but when I looked at the list of other studios this happened to I realized that I have steadily liked the games from these studios less and less. Not a good sign at all. One more reason to support FOSS games in my opinion.

I applaud them on what they're doing and have done but they're still way behind Nova Custom and Purism for me. Also behind System76. I place a high priority on having Coreboot support as well as being able to run the libre kernel. I don't game on laptops myself.
