Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I can sympathize with that to a certain extent but this just seems like a shameless cash grab to me. It's one thing to take good ideas and build on them, it's another to repackage them just enough that the main goal is avoiding copyright issues.

    ScarVio and SwSh were shameless cash grabs, especially ScarVio. Gamefreak is insanely lazy now. I’m totally cool with a company jockin their style and making a game that’s more fun (and runs above 10FPS)

    Cash grab or not. They got the formula down for a fun game. Good for them.

    They've been in development like 3 years now, I wouldn't call it a cash grab.

    This has been in early access for like 4 years now and people seem to have given up on getting much support for it. Maybe I'm overly cynical after many Epic experiences but I don't trust them :shrug: I'll reconsider if it's still going strong and actively being supported in a year or so.

    Yeah, see if it gets updates a few months from now. Chances are they got most of the money they are ever gonna make of it already. So, just move on to the next cash grab, I guess?
