Quoting: pete910Regardless of where you want to buy games from is no reason to wish/say such things about any firm/devs ect. You've basically ssaid you want people to lose there jobs just so you can buy "x" game on another store.
No I didn't. I said I would prefer them on a store with better consumer friendly policies, and the original post could have motivated that change.

Even if I had said that, there is nothing bad about it. There are plenty of places I don't shop, or media I don't partake in, or events I avoid for one reason or another. I'm not supporting everything just so people don't lose their jobs.
Stop trying to back-pedal, The original post was plain vindictive.

Man up and admit it and we'll leave it at that.

I hope prospective devs/publishers reading this particular thread don't think this is how linux gamers/users as a whole think.

Quoting: JJNovaI'm actually disappointed that they aren't in trouble. If they were in a situation, maybe they would sell their games somewhere other than Steam.
What a ridiculous thing to say!
*shrugs*

They currently aren't making any games for people that prefer their privacy to playing games. Seems weird to think that them distributing on more platforms would be bad for consumers.
*face plams*

As stated by others, 99% of the time it's not ferrals decision to make. Which in turns makes the statement you make even more ridiculous due to your lack of knowledge of porting/licencing games/software/propriety IP.

And please, stop with the BS "Privacy" rhetoric.

Quoting: Liam DaweUpdate: Phoronix removed the article, and placed up an apology.
Partly due to the stick he was getting for it too I reckon .

Think he realised his error in eagerness to jump in without clarification so to speak.

It would have come across more sincere if it was published like all the others and not buried 3/4 way down the front page!

Quoting: jensI really think Phoronix should stay at summarizing commit messages. The Feral article has a bitter taste on in considering they gave Feral apparently very little time to respond in private first.

Anyway, on the bright side we do know now that Feral is shiny and kicking. Reading the responses to the articles they even got a few extra sales out of it ;)
Thing is, emailing them in the morning to him is gone home time in the UK depending on were he is in the US :D

Good news I agree however, I'll not hold my breath tbh. We've been suckered too many times now unfortunately.

The good thing is that DS has been good to our platform so the statement carries merit

Apologies that I've come across as a little pessimistic.

So basically because of your shall we say heavy hand and not looking at what you are doing that's a failing of AMD's/PGA

I've used PGA since the original P100(Socket 7 sPGA) days and I have never ever done that!
oh the good old days ! did you also had a K6-2?? that sure was a superior cpu, AMD superiority has always been there! ^_^ I ran vista on that.
AMD has always been very linux friendly basically the first full OS that ran in full 64bits mode, when their first 64bits cpus came out was Linux. IT's simply not true that Intel linux support is better. otoh what is actually true is that ATI's support before it was AMD was crap.
I've had both a K6 233 and a k6-2 500 :D

Surprising large amount of people think its AMD's fault in the ATI era.
