I remember people from Fastspring and BMTmicro being very active in the indie game development forum i was participating at (i think the BMTmicro guy was actually the owner, not sure about the Fastspring guy). That was around 7-8 years ago,

Since this is essentially a shareware product, wouldn't some service that handles all those options for you be better, like BMTmicro and Fastspring? These also handle hairy stuff like VAT MOSS for EU customers that -AFAIK- Paypal doesn

AFAIK Total Commander was fman's main motivation (IIRC the developer mentioned that on the bootstrapers.io forum). It'll be interesting to see how it evolves, but TBH i find Total Commander perfectly fine and i love how lightweigh

I'm not interested in whatever cultural issues some might have, especially since people put too much irrational emotion in their language. Languages are primarily a tool for communication and i am interested in the practicality of impr

Yes, the best scenario of the first case is better than the worst scenario of the second case, but personally i'm more interested on the best scenario of both cases - especially since we already have working OpenGL implementations that

I'm not saying it isn't possible, ANGLE is a thing after all, but possible doesn't mean optimal. Of course, given enough time, faster hardware will solve this.

Yeah, this touches on something i believed for a long time but every time i mentioned it i got (at best) push back: we make the software way too localization friendly, when we shouldn't do that because what we end up doing is enabling

Yes, the codebase had several changes and improvements since 3.x.

I never had issues with Paypal and in general people do not complain about stuff that works. I always only use Paypal since it is available everywhere, convenient and i trust it more than random websellers with my debit card details (i do n

There is also a retro branch to make it work in earlier versions of windows (i think the goal is to backport it to Windows 3.x).

> enough to pay 2 people full time at the center of the project Being able to only pay two people full time for a massive effort such as a full featured 3D game development system is a blatant commercial failure.

Qt programs on Windows are not statically linked, i have a bunch of them (including some commercial) and none link to Qt statically. Also Qt is licensed under LGPL, not GPL. Qt used to be licensed under GPL but changed that to LGPL for vers
