developers, pay us or we will direct your players' complaints to you
How is that even remotely unreasonable though?
The game example is poor for a different reason; Oracle don't seem to care about desktop apps anymore and they want you to bundle the JVM with your app anyway. Hence new tools like jlink and javapackager.
- DoctorOetker 8y agoI think it would be very unreasonable if a player's "updated" JRE would refuse to run a non-updated application that perfectly worked the day before, on the simple basis of not the developer not paying Oracle. Consider a user on windows with Oracle JRE, using some FOSS Java software. Suddenly he can't run his Java application, because the FOSS developer does not pay Oracle, and the FOSS developer gets flooded with hate mail.
- peoplewindow 8y agoWho is suggesting that will happen? I suspect you aren't quite sure about what "support" means here. It doesn't mean your app suddenly stops working one day. For most apps it'll make no difference in fact.
