It may have been "screwed over" if there was no access to the oss game. But you can still download the game from their website. They just do not want that these appear as competitors in steam/gog platforms, so they bundled the oss version. Both sides thought this was a reasonable resolution. Thus I don't see "screwing over" here.
- philistine 7mo agoOpen source is a culture that includes its users. Open source is getting screwed over because at the first whiff of a capitalist losing a buck open source retreated and hid.
- freehorse 7mo agoThe game is still distributed freely through the internet, only restricted within the main commercial platforms. I think that commercial platforms and "open source culture" will sometimes inevitably clash. Open source culture requires de fact non-reliance on such platforms anyway.
