Quoting: BlooAlienWell, that's a pretty nice sounding update. I'ma have to run download that right now. GOG should learn a thing or three from them (but they likely won't)…

Alternatively, they could officially support, and contribute to, projects such as this.

Quoting: denyasisfrom the comments above, it doesn't seem they are necessarily targeting high end right away (is there a business reason for that? It doesn't make sense to me).

I think more of a technical reason: That shit is really, really fucking hard to do. You need to build up expertise over years.

Apart from that, those higher-end gpu's would take up production resources because of those huge dies (with extra high failure rates on top) that can be better spent increasing the install base. A higher number of users is important to gain better dev support.

QuoteAll looks and sounds pretty good. I'm honestly surprised it's not funded already.

It's an unproven indie team on a platform that is littered with disappointments. On top of that, the minimum reward tier that includes the game doesn't reflect that risk. I'm not surprised people could be a bit hesitant.

Quoting: denyasis...
(force the dev to make money?).
...

Yes, I suspect that devs that are now using the free license are going to be forced to make money via ads in their games and that a large portion of that money is going to be going to unity.

It is only a matter of time before the new cost of the "free" license is going to be having to sell one's audience to the highest bidder.

Quoting: denyasisI read the release, is there really that big of a market of devs that want to put more ads in games? Cause they seem really into making that a possibility for devs.

The question is: are ads going to be forced into the free license, or even some of the paid ones?

We could run into the situation that the end-user pays for a game and gets served ads because the dev doesn't have a financially viable option to prevent it.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: DrMcCoyAyyyy, okay, I strongly disagree with that:

Quoting: lawl

Quoting: principisBesides, that's a very annoying clause ["Modified versions may not be conveyed to others under same name as the original program"] to have... It makes it impossible for packagers to apply distro-specific patches.

Good. You got the point of the clause.

Distro-specific patches are very common and pretty much necessary for distributions to, well, essentially work as intended.

Yeah, it feels like sour-grapes when I read those messages on the Github. Very much a "that's my football, and you're not playing with it" attitude. If Lawl wanted to keep the name, he should have kept his repo up, let the team fork it as Noisetorch-next, and that would be that. But he didn't - he pushed the whole lot into the group's new organisation, then when he didn't like the ideas they had for it, changed the license and is now throwing a hissy fit over the name?

There must be something else going on behind the scenes to drive that behaviour, but I don't know what it is.

It's a popular application, so there may be monetary value in the name.

I don't see much of a practical problem with the request itself; rename it to LibreNT and be done with it.

It's the heavy handed way in which the original dev seems to want to try to enforce a name change, after essentially handing off the name to a new team, that is the bigger issue here. A bit of a d..k move and legally dubious, imo.

Looking nice, apart from the lack of a middle trackpoint button and minor keyboard layout niggles.

Quoting: 1xokAt some point you hear the noise, even when the fan is off.

Wouldn't that lead to the conclusion it was not actually the fan that was causing that noise, but something other such as coil whine?

Will the drm-free versions over at humble, gog, and itch also be updated and, if so, when?

At the moment, the non-steam shops offer only older versions for download.
