Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhat is "extraction horror"?

Well extraction is where you go in, do stuff and attempt to leave. Horror means some form of scary, combine the two.

Quoting: elmapulso... the logo on protonDB was not the logo for proton? lol

No, it seems like ProtonDB just recoloured the React logo [External Link]. And I just realised, they're not even within the license since they don't give attribution oopsies.

Although the license situation there is weird. It says it's Creative Commons, but above that there's also a note saying it "does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain." In which case you can't really license it, Creative Commons or otherwise, although I suppose you could claim it was.
And that's not really surprising--that basic image has been getting used for atom-type-stuff for decades and decades, by everyone from governments to comic books. IIRC, that was the image Doctor Manhattan refused to use in Watchmen.

I suppose you're right, but when you see super basic things (like fruit, letters etc) clearly trademarked / copyrighted, it's never clear, and of course Wikipedia is also not to be taken on the legal word.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualA common opinion in the comments of that Ars article was that "the Patreon was really asking for it." I'm curious what GOL users think of the Patreon which is bringing in more than 10 times as much money as GIMP's Patreon accounts.

Is it illegal to develop commercial emulators?

Well, their early access to builds for people who pay probably isn't helping their case here.

Added a little extra context.

Quoting: CatKillerPlatform icons are broken again, like they were in the last sale. All the titles in the list just have Windows icons even if the game's available for other platforms.

I have the opposite, if it has a Linux version it only shows the SteamOS icon lol.

Hi all: please remember to read the rules and remain polite to each other. There's no need to get silly about such simple things. Let's calm it down a bit.

I think it's more that just saying it's a "Proprietary engine" by itself isn't really a selling point, it doesn't really explain anything and to most people it won't really mean anything.

And no, no one expects games or the game engine to be open source at all.

Quoting: Liam DaweI suggest reading their previous statement on it.

Thanks! You are destroying me in the comments with all those well-documented facts 🥲

I am basically a human-book of Linux gaming history at this point.

Do we know an example of a game with a native build & official anti-cheat support (BattlEye, EAC) that has dropped Linux support because of cheaters? Lol.

Rust.

That was fast 😭😂. Although I thought Rust did that because of low (percentage) numbers of Linux players.

I suggest reading their previous statement on it.
