Determinism is something that can be fixed with a mere "LOT of effort". Both Satisfactory and Factorio had multiple releases with a few rewrites until they got it mostly right.

Some friends of mine has a demo up for a game that's going to release in a few weeks:

There *IS* a Linux native version, but he hasn't uploaded it to Steam yet.

Quoting: PyrateDoes anyone know if 6.2 will make it to the Fedora 41 release? Love KDE Plasma.

Update, Fedora 40 already has Plasma 6.2

Considering 6.1 was backported to Fedora 40, even though it came out a few months afterwards, I strongly suspect the answer is YES.

Fish! How I hate how publishers buy the IP and then sit on it. Brass Studs the lot of 'em!

We need a new name for publishers that indicate their hoarding and coercion.
Hmm, like Dragons?

Dragon: Give me everything and do as I say!
People: Or?
Dragon: There is no or! There only me!
People: …

15 years! Wow, I remember when I discovered this site, it was just about when Happypuppy stopped posting things. Am I that old?

Re the surprise the game is 7 years old: Yep, I think time is relative to how old you are, so our perception of time speeds up as we age. That's pretty rude of time.

On another note: Not really needed an update. Not like Horizon: Zero Dawn was looking dated, or was missing some modern accessibility feature.

This looks like Nintendo feels that they can throw lawyers at a small-time competitor, just so they can avoid competition.
Ultimately the goal of this is to drain resources from the smaller company.

They probably have no expectation to actually win this.

Wow, that's pragmatism.

OK, after reading the license and going over things in detail...
Disclamer: As I understand it.

Did the dev only do this because he doesn't want to deal with people?
As in he sees anyone doing a distribution of his work (or a derivative one) as completely undesirable as he sees it that they probably using a version that's been built wrong and therefore he can't do anything about it. So if someone logs an issue he is completely powerless to help the people and said people are just wasting his time?

But then he allows PR's... Because a licence that doesn't allow derivative works (aka forks, required to do a PR) and disallows any other license overriding it, then gets overriden by a general-level Github assumed right.

The only way I can see this license to work is to require a CLA, but he says no CLA is required? I'm honestly confused.

Ah well, not like I ever played a single PS1 game in my life. I don't have any skin in the game.
