Totally agree with you, Liam. Well said.

It's nothing to do with OpenRCT2. They're entirely different projects based on entirely different games.

Can someone explain to me what this means? What am I not getting? I don't play openttd, only OpenRCT2. I think I must be missing something, because I don't get what the problem is.

I notice that dwarven evil corporations seem just as bad as the human ones.

News - Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns brings the absolute classic to a modern audience
By kaiman, 13 Mar 2026 at 3:04 pm UTC

That's one of the classics where I'm not sure if I'd actually enjoy it today.

The graphics were absolutely superb, and I guess that might have glossed over the glaring deficiencies in gameplay. The strategy part was fairly minimalist. Firing catapults at castle walls was fun. Sword-fighting was manageable, but don't ask what the best way to go about it was, other than frantically clicking away with the mouse. No clue how to pull off the tournament.

And the major selling point, the kiss scene, certainly hit different at age 12 than it would now :-).

Thank you for this message and your website. Keep fighting the good fight (against AI slop)!

Not only is your stance on AI understandable, it's phenomenal! I'm really glad to see you clarifying your position. Among everything being ruined by AI, it's good to know this site will remain great. Keep on keeping on!

AI can be used to spell GamingOnLinux and Liam so it's technically not entirely useless! 🐧

Quoting: Liam DaweArticle updated. See the bottom note.
just keeping digging that hole buddy. DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG DIG.

"because it's such a big fuss" is such an infantile ridiculous statement (and reason) to "put back the attribution". I think my 3 year old handles getting in trouble better than this.

Another thing I wanted to quickly say is that, the Lutris dev mentioned he has depression and he's using Claude as a way to stay motivated to continue working on his project (my interpretation of things). He's doing this to try to make more progress on something that otherwise risks becoming abandonware, and right now I feel like he's being bullied for using AI. He felt bullied so he removed the claude attribution, and then he felt bullied again so he put it back. And now after reading a few comments here, I see people are canceling their Patreons over this. Bizarre. I don't know what the end-game is here. If being bullied is going to be the result of using AI, I question if applying any AI attribution in the first place is the right answer. This situation affects how I will choose to go about doing things in the near future if I plan to release any software.

One of my favourite games on Amiga, but also a VERY simple game once you get the hang of it. If they don´t manage to expand it in a lot of way, I can´t really see myself playing this seriously nowadays.

I still love that they are doing this and it looks really nice. For a 30-Minute nostalgia trip, it sounds quite tempting at least.

@Eike: Never played the PC version, so I cant say for sure, but that was a common problem with many games back then. It wouldn´t surprise me. Most towers used to have a speed-button to switch the CPU-speed for that exact reason (I remember my first PC could switch between 33/133mhz). The Amiga had the same issues if you had a turbocard installed. Not with every game, but many of them.

This is getting ridiculous. The author knows his software. I fully support this author. As I side note, I fully support the use of Claude. It is the ONLY AI That I am able to trust with my code. The hts-time app.

Quoting: LinasCall me skeptical, but this is probably going to be some unnecessarily fancy wrapper for a subpar emulator.
It's a LRG release, so it's a given.
