I am sorry, but Strife is always going to be the one built on the Doom engine for me. :P

The game will also have Steam achievements which will also work outside out Steam via an option system in-game as well, so non-Steam users can still enjoy them if they wish.

RWS keeps on staying awesome. ^_^

Although they are not the only ones to do this - I believe Trine 2 allows for something similar.

About time we got DRM free Goblin Menace. I just hope Frozenbyte keeps supporting Desura and gives out a key for it. :|

I would have also bought the bundle for FTL, but I already grabbed it on sale last summer, and I of course already have Brutal Legend from the Double Fine Bundle. So it is mostly Goblin Menace that is keeping my interest up.

But since I got Trine 2 for free though a contest here on GoL, what I am paying for this bundle is not really a big thing to spend for how many hours that game has already given me. ;)

Not to be rude, but will you people shut up? I am getting a little sick of being inundated with email notifications. Plus you do not seem to be going anywhere in your arguments, as each comes from a different perspective with each not really being right or really being wrong.

Plus, after all the resentment shown against gog over this by some people, you think they would have stopped talking about them by now.

Of course the FSF campaigns in favor of free software. That is not the point of this; they restored their license after the developers made it fit the legal terms, despite the fact that it is being used for a proprietary game. Despite the fact that they do "hate" proprietary software, they willingly work with proprietary developers as long as they fit their licensing terms. And yes, the FSF has the full right to revoke their license when people who use it break the license terms. In fact, they are obligated to, because if they don't followup on even the smallest infractions the license becomes useless, because without enforcement the law becomes useless.

As someone who has released free software applications, I am glad that the license I use does get enforced when violations are shown. You say they are not being pragmatic, but if they do not follow up on these problems they are being impractical, and hurt the license and damage everyone who tries to use it for legal purposes. And from what I see here, it seems the people complaining seem to have a "black and white political bug" up their own asses, simply because they disagree with the advocacy part of the organization. That is not the problem here. This is a legal matter.

Quoting: SuperuserI'm surprised in general to have seen the FSF getting its panties in a bunch over this when I've seen much more serious breaches of this type from proprietary and open source software alike.

Yes, but because it was an FSF project they were actually able to become aware of it. Most breaches happen because they go unreported.

And ideology has nothing to do with this case, it is purely a legal matter.

Quoting: DudeskiWell, not like the FSF is known for being particularly rational or non-douchy when it comes to these things. Those people would much rather just see all "non-free" software dead and gone.

How is the FSF defending the rights of those who use their license make them acting like a douche? The Game Dev Tycoon developers made a mistake and violated the license; actions have consequences.

Am I the only one who has used old Linux games (1998) with next to no trouble on modern distributions (Fedora specifically)?

And DOSBox does not count as Microsoft has nothing to do with it.

It is the price for doing things in a professional manner. While trying to be supportive to developers is often the right thing to do, they are trying to make money off a game title, and if they are hoping to seek financial gain from a free software project they have to do things properly otherwise they are abusing other people's work for their own gain. So I really do not see why I should be terribly sympathetic in this case. It is a not a huge faux pas on their part, and I am not angry at them for their mistake, but I am not terribly sympathetic to them simply because they were affected by their error.
