People have an economic incentive to pick the low-hanging fruit, but eventually there will be none left. Personally, I wouldn't mind accepting something like that for my own open source project. It takes time to proofread, and I apprec

Before Windows 8, Valve seemingly couldn't care less about Linux! It bothers me how Valve tries to make itself out to be Linux's best friend nowadays. They also talk about open source a lot despite them ever releasing only proprie

I adored the Humble Bundle for its idealism and for spearheading DRM-free and Linux gaming. It seems that idealism doesn't always pay the bills.

If this project used Ruby, it would be an approachable tool for back-end web development neophytes to learn with before moving on to Sinatra and Rails.

I second this. The language appears to be a Ruby with a slightly modified syntax, and most programmers won't be excited about keeping track of the differences. Use Ruby for this and everyone will benefit.

Even if it were legal, it would not necessarily be ethical. People incorrectly assume that when something is ubiquitous, it should belong to the public. Super Mario is not something that has always existed or would eventually exist, it is a

Many of us love the Super Mario franchise and SMB has made a huge cultural impact, but that does not entitle people to use it as a base for their own work. Take inspiration from Mario and create original games!

The open source desktop is kept alive mostly through donated spare time. This time is limited. We would do well to maximize the impact of time spent creating and maintaining open source desktop software. Right now the standard language to b

This is great. The PS Vita really has more than enough power to express a modern video game. I hope that this becomes popular and makes it more viable for large game companies to spend less time on graphical detail and more time on pursuing

This is exactly it. I would commonly use the shorthand for something like this, but I felt that it would only deter from the point I was illustrating, which is that a couple methods can seamlessly act like a variable.

You should stick with the original. Remakes have higher resolution graphics, but at the cost of the creative passion that went into the original games.

I wonder if there is any way to turn FOSS into a mainstream movement. The only thing really stopping FOSS from becoming more commonplace is the lack of consumer demand and awareness.

I like the aesthetic of this and the fact that it's based on the open web, though I wish that you invested your time into making more original video games. There aren't enough of those in the world!
