Quoting: PatolaThis scam called "Intellectual Property" should be not only extinguished, but banished. It is not property (since it is not scarce) and it is only used to promote injustice.
How would game devs, artists, musicians, etc get paid for their work?
You can't rely solely on donations and the good will of people. If anything, legal trolls only prove that some people lack good will.

Godot Engine continues advancing Vulkan support, adopts new Code of Conduct

Quoting: TheSHEEEPBut whatever happens that is not (either publicly or privately) between workers/team members but between a worker and other, unrelated people (or no people at all, just someone voicing opinions), should have no consequences beyond affecting inter-personal relations at work if it becomes known.
If a member of a community has, for example, publicly voiced homophobic opinions, that will reflect poorly on the entire community. Also, LGBT members of the community would find it hard, if not impossible, to work with him afterwards.

Godot Engine continues advancing Vulkan support, adopts new Code of Conduct

Quoting: psyminIf someone is mean to someone else in a realm that isn't related to linux, gaming or godot, that shouldn't have any impact on their ability to contribute.
It does have an impact.

If you start calling someone names, regardless if you do it offline or online on another platform, then you can't possibly expect that the other person will be willing to continue to work with you.

You also need to consider the fact that calling coworkers names reflects negatively upon the entire organization. People will think twice before joining and/or contributing.

ATOM RPG had another massive update recently adding in an Isometric mode

Quoting: NanobangI scratch my head over what an isometric view might bring to the game, what's the attraction? I'm not knocking it, but doesn't ATOM already have an aerial-view of things?
They're appealing to the nostalgia of Fallout 1 & 2 players.

D9VK 0.13 "Hypnotoad" is out, further advancing the D3D9 to Vulkan layer for Wine

This latest release has doubled the frame-rate for me in Dragon Dogma: Dark Arisen on Manjaro with mesa 19.1.1 on an RX 580. I'm getting stable 60 fps with vsync on. It goes near 100 fps with vsync off.

Joshua is doing really good work here. :)

Epic's Tim Sweeney thinks Wine "is the one hope for breaking the cycle", Easy Anti-Cheat continuing Linux support

Actually I think WINE is the one hope for breaking the cycle. If most PC games were automatically compatible with Linux, it would greatly increase the viability of Linux as a consumer platform.
Developers will have no incentive to make a Linux native port for a game that already works in wine. Especially developers like this one.


Valve are doing a small celebration for 20 years of Counter-Strike

Quoting: tadzikDon't forget Condition Zero [External Link]! :­)

It's a bit of a quirky sibling, with its focus on singleplayer campaigns, building a team of bots you buy or going through linear, scripted missions with bullet-spongy enemies, but I think it's still a fun episode – I still revisit it every few years :­)
I loved condition zero. :) Offline bots are a rarity these days and they were uncommon even then.

Dying Light is still seeing updates years after release and my love of it continues

Quoting: vickopIs it already playable with Mesa RadeonSI? The last time I tried 2 months ago (Mesa 19.0), it still started with black screen...
