I'm less interested in the GPL violation aspect, and mot excited to get an insight into what it was like to work on that team, 20 years ago. Minutiae like how to burn a build to CD https://twitter.com/0xGradius/status/1137123492329951232?s=19 https://twitter.com/0xGradius/status/1137123492329951232?s=1... feels like a window into the past.
- louthy 7y agoBurning a build CD wasn’t anything special, the PS1 dev kits read normal CDs (didn’t have the copy protection). Burning of any CD was flaky back in the day (lack of decent buffering)
- davb 7y agoI remember having an old 2x Traxdata drive with almost no buffer - so I certainly lived through the hassle of early drives. It's just exciting to read about other peoples' work flows.
- frou_dh 7y agoMaybe it's a wake-up call for the contemporary prissy developer blogging about coding font ligatures, to learn that whatever masterpiece games they enjoyed in their youth were made in crappy OS using crappy tools and with dodgy coding styles.
- davb 7y agoAbsolutely - I think we could all benefit from being more pragmatic and not sweating the small stuff.
