This is a joke, right ?This is a joke, right ?Posted Nov 7, 2007 0:46 UTC (Wed) by sim0nx (subscriber, #23065)Parent article: Linux Game Company Opens Doors
Having seen the screenshots, I really really hope this is just a big joke ! 40k$ for that ? One must be insane for supporting that. There are a lot of high quality opensource games out there, a lot better than the proposed 40k$-project. Why would anybody pay for that ? This really is an insult on anybody working hard on a free game or free project in general. ...IMHO only of course.

If there is truly an interest in growing the gaming market, why wouldn't a few hardware companies, wealthy free software fanatics, etc. pony up a couple thousand apiece to support it? Could be seen as a cost of doing business by some.
This is a joke, right ? Posted Nov 7, 2007 18:40 UTC (Wed) by sim0nx (subscriber, #23065) [Link] I didn't mean that the idea is insane. I actually think it's a great idea, and could really work. But what I think would be crazy, is for somebody to give money for that product they are proposing. As I said in my previous comment, there are so many great games out there, which are totally free, and of much higher quality than that c**p. So if you want to support FOSS games, donate to those projects who *really* deserve it ! Their product is ridiculous, and demanding 40k$ for that and saying that that is even way below what it's worth, is IMHO taking the people they are proposing it to for idiots. The free ryzom pledge was a great idea, and it might actually be re-launched soon. But that is totally different from this.
