Oh really?
By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and fork your repositories.
Their headers say otherwise since to copy it or "fork it" you would need written permission which is contrary to github public repo rules.

Why has it tried to use colour and size bbcode for you when our editor doesn't support it? How did you enter your text?

Quoting: Quote from Chris ThornettGood news! It's a bit harsh to call Unity's popularity a monopoly though, when they chose to support Linux while game engine/dev software didn't and still don't - They should be applauded.
Maybe Monopoly isn't the best way to describe it, but it's still mostly true.

While yes it's good they support Linux, they still have no plans to port the editor, so no real applause from me yet.
does it really matter on which platform a game has been developed ?  yes for the developer but no for the gamer.  I really don't care if doublefine developed their last game on windows or on a psvita.  so maybe a bit harsh about the no applause, they should be applauded tbh.

btw you seem to forget about Unigine, they have their engine linux ready for long time, just can't seem to get many games out of it on any platform.
It doesn't matter to me, but it will matter to any developer who uses Linux as their primary platform, that's my point. It doesn't matter to gamers, this is a developer orientated article.

Unigine, reports of being extremely expensive, hard to script for...not to mention 1 Linux game released using it? I hold next to 0 faith in it.

Steam Dev Days Day 2 Highlights

Quoting: Quote from PKM"They believe pay 2 win is fine, if it doesn't upset other players"
But they don't have any pay2win items as far as I am aware, lot's of skins but nothing that gives you advantage over other players (unless you count your character looking fabulous as a advantage) at least not for Dota 2 or TF2.
Last time I played TF2 it had plenty of items that had different statistics including weapons and I had pretty rubbish stuff too.

Fixed, I blame it on being ill.

Quoting: Quote from ShmerlI really don't like when expansion packs are called DLC. It's such a dumb term, but it caught up for some weird reason...
Well an expansion pack is Downloadable Content isn't it? So it's a correct term to use.

What I hate is when free patches where replaced by DLC.

Loren The Amazon Princess RPG & DLC Released For Linux On Steam

Quoting: Quote from edgleyThe title is a bit misleading as the game has been available directly from Winter Wolves for a long time. It's only new on Steam.

Decent game if you like interactive stories and simplified RPG mechanics though.
Title corrected.
