It isn't meaningless to show that funding anti-LGBT laws will be frowned upon and even economically punished.

Carmack is just the CTO, he probably doesn't have much of a voice on this. Even if he did, this doesn't affect his job that much.

Yeah, I saw that movie in Sessão da Tarde, too. It was nice, but... never put too much thought on it.

This is also not true for a long time. Wine is shitty, but because Windows' API is not really well documented. But there are plenty of good games for Ubuntu. Check out Desura and Humble Bundle.

This has not been true for a long time. You don't need to write a single script to use Ubuntu. (But, indeed, you need lots of scripts for expert distros, as Arch Linux. I'm suffering with it).

He would not like GOG, too. He is a fanatic. And he does not speaks for Linux, he speaks for GNU (not that I think there is a Linux that isn't GNU, except Android and Chrome OS, maybe). "Modding" is not the same as "open source". You CAN make Open Source for a living. There are millions...

... So much idiocy in this thread. Nobody read what actual developers had to say, it was only "I hate this guy, ergo he must be wrong". Have you ever heard about ad hominem? That's what you're doing. And the worst way possible.

No, it does not. File validation is an open algorithm (you could use CRC-32, MD5, SHA-1, all of them are free and trivial to implement). You don't have any idea what you're talking about.

None of you really understood his point, and you're complaining about something you simply don't get. What he is saying is that you should have a backup of your saving, and your new saving should be validated when loaded. This is not difficult to understand, nor to implement. What the hell are...

I'm a developer myself (not a game developer, but I already done some things that needed CRC-32, MD5 or SHA-1 validation). No, his suggestion is not difficult nor expensive. It's actually really good. It's possible to create a method that validates automatically for the programmer responsible...

Yes, we do realize all that, but this is a start. A glimpse of hope for Linux users that only use Windows because of games.

Except for the last option I said. That is, doing it in HTML5 + Javascript. It will run on a browser, not a JVM.

Development, mostly. Developing applications in Linux is much more comfortable than on Windows, EVEN if it's a Windows application (except if you use .NET, obviously). But there are other reasons to use Linux: 1 - The package manager (it's an overkill feature. Seriously) 2 - The power...

I bought it. I only regret that only one game has a version for Ubuntu.

This is misleading. Games made for Android must run on a Java Virtual Machine, but Java is not the only language for doing this. There is also JRuby, Groovy, Jython... And, of course, you could make a HTML5 + Javascript game and use Open Web App (if I'm not mistaken, I'm on a phone and...
