I played a lot Albion since 2 months after public release... stay top 1000 fame then I stopped... The game was too repetitive, no real PvE challenge...

But PvP is fun and need lot of skill to be effective.

But hey, it's time to play something else wich need less time investissement maybe...

Microsoft is rumoured to be looking to buy Valve, EA and others

Valve gets in the way of Microsoft with Steam. It's a direct competition to his own market.

For the sake of diversity, Valve must not sell to Microsoft ... I cross my fingers.

The Libretro Team and other emulators are being ripped off by companies trying to make a quick buck

Quoting: GuestThere's another side to this mess too. Although people are taking RetroArch and not properly acknowledging its contributions, even fewer people are acknowledging the emulators themselves. That is, even when someone knows and respects what RetroArch is doing, they don't know (or often care) about the emulators behind the scenes.

I've been working on Stella (an Atari 2600 emulator) for almost 18 years at the point. Stella is considered the 'gold standard' for 2600 emulation, but I would bet that most people using RetroArch aren't even aware that the work done for this isn't being done by Lakka, or RetroArch, but by the Stella developers. There are only a few of us, and only one (myself) that has stayed with it so long over the years. And aside from a few small contributions here and there, we receive nothing.

I've even been contacted by companies asking me to port the latest version of Stella to RetroArch so they can use it in their product!

Not to disrespect the work that RetroArch does, but even if they do get the recognition they deserve, I'll bet that it won't filter down to the emulator authors, who are IMO the ones doing the real work.
I never play an Atari 2600 game but I use some PSX/N64 emulators.

I understand how it's bad to sell your open-source work without pay attention about licencies. It's bad when you not acknowledging in contributions.

I juste want to say : Thank your for all your work.
