Was there feedback from Nightdive?

I asked if they could do a "source available" akin to UT4 since system shock remake uses the same engine. IIRC it had some proprietary licensed bits added in. Maybe they would give it some modicum of consideration if enough people chimed in. Getting game devs to even support linux in general let alone a different arch is quite an uphill battle though.. Considering how things are going in general with corporate and government control of computing systems maybe more people will move into the open source sphere with time.. I know I did 5ish years ago.

Ive asked them before they wouldnt do it

Let's hope they will accept the hardware offer from Tim.

For now we could always play the game with box64

oh wow, who would turn that deal down... there's been some work on a re implementation of early unreal engine. Maybe one day we can play deus ex on PPC64LE.. I've also reached out to nightdive studios about supporting the arch as well.. Wish I was offered a system to get half life 2 / source engine running

When the conversation begins to focus on you,

so you admit stalking me

Troll.

But yes, I read your blog (you do want people to do that, right?), I researched the issues you raised, and I examined your posts closely.  I find that the readers need to be aware that (in my opinion) your conclusions are not supported and the readers need to think for themselves before getting outraged and joining your crusade, or in any way having their opinions influenced by you.

What am I tearing down when I documented the cases of volunteers being tricked to join the fake FSFE instead of the real FSF?

If you did so much work yourself, why do you think tricking people to give time and money to fake FSFE is acceptable?

You didn't answer my question.  You rarely do.  When the conversation begins to focus on you, and you can not redirect with "What about" arguments, you close the thread.

Here, a simple example for you to follow:

https://marc.info/?l=pcc-commit-list&w=2&r=1&s=Tim+Kelly&q=b

It will return a list of commits to pcc as a result of my patches.  Please post a similar search of your recent contributions to an open-source effort.

Now, Daniel, do you spent any time contributing to open source efforts in a manner that does not seek to tear down what others have created?
