Quoting: gustavoyaraujoWhen will they starting developing exclusive titles?

Exclusives are just bad, no one wants them. They push platforms, sure, but they lock you into things.

And that is the point in this industry... SteamOS itself is pointless If you don't give a real reason to the average videogame consumer for to use it...

And that is the point in this industry... Antivirus itself is pointless If you don't fund development and spread of malware to give a real reason to the average antivirus consumer for to use it...

If your platform is only considered a "stretch goal", I've got bad news for you.

30, 40, 50 are only significant because we use a base 10 system. If humans had only eight fingers or fourteen fingers we might find significant birthdays to land instead on 16, 24, 32 or on 14, 28, 42 respectively. It is amazing how we are able to mentally compartmentalize sets of years as though being 39 years and 360 days is any different from being 40 years and 2 days, for example.

Quoting: wvstolzingWasn't there also a minor controversy before this one, that they 'demonstrated' games on the system which they actually ran on a windows pc behind the scenes?

That is pretty much par for the course for running console demos.

Quoting: GuestBerating the devs will get you one thing - a pulled Linux build, and no future support.

One less piece of proprietary garbage infesting this platform is a victory in my book.

There's simply no excuse for the "berating" done to which jaycee is referring. None. At all. It was nothing approaching any form of victory. If this article had been back then....well, I should have stood up back then and done more to reproach people, to mention everything in this article, and to my shame and continued regret, I did not.

So please, no, I think that's the wrong attitude. Encourage FOSS, point out its virtues, don't just put down proprietary software. That's the whole point of this article.

I think you and I are talking about two different types of developers.

Quoting: liamdaweJust to point out, a good 99% of what we cover here is proprietary. Just some food for thought ;)

Why might individuals strongly aligned with software freedom be interested in the trends of proprietary game software? More food for thought.
