It seems like games are a "here we are now entertain us" types of products. I wonder if a FOSS development model or a variation of it could actually benefit the development of various games closed source or not? Or if this is just the way it is and it will never change? <BR/><BR/>The other thing that comes to mind is the Orange project. Who would have ever thought that a movie of any kind could be created using the FOSS model? <BR/><BR/>No matter what the answers may be we have both achieved our goal here so far. We are thinking about and discussing something that yesterday we were not. :)Theobromahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892562896108674765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119627.post-68274290425299928232007-10-15T00:15:00.000-07:002007-10-15T00:15:00.000-07:00Saying Linux game deprivation is a myth is a bit r...Saying Linux game deprivation is a myth is a bit rich based on those games.<BR/><BR/>I love Linux and FOSS. I also love games. No serious gamer can expect to play only FOSS games, they are years behind the competition in terms of technology and the few single player games there are have either nonexistent or terrible stories.<BR/><BR/>Sadly I think proprietary games such as Defcon and UT2004 are far better than their FOSS counterparts and I think this is because the way games are developed needs a more dedicated approach which can't be e.g. forked or seen before release. Even free products like mods always tend to use a closed rather than open model for development.<BR/><BR/>Food for thought!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
