      They fucked around with DayZ pretty good.

      • Glacial progress for a long, long time.
      • Releasing the Livonia DLC for a half-made game. That pissed me off real nice. (And I’m a guy who bought the Supporter Edition of Arma 3)

      To be fair, they have acted well since then. So my hackles have settled down.

        Wait what’s wrong with Contact? I absolutely loved that campaign and Livonia is by far my favorite 2035 map after Malden

    Title is inaccurate, it was not released as open source software, it was released as Free software. This shit’s GPL3!

      GPL3 might not be the most permissive license out there, but it is an open source license.

        Right, but then why describe it as the lesser thing?

    I played this a handful of years back, and I was surprised by how well it holds up. In other areas, it super doesn’t hold up. It’s got all of the presentation you’d expect from a modern action game with all of the jank that came along with ancient PC games, and it was charming for it. One song during a scene transition came off as anachronistic, and it’s because it was! They had to change out a few of the songs due to licenses expiring, and the song they picked as a replacement postdated the game’s original release, which was super jarring in a fun way I’d never experienced before.

    Is this just Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis but with a different name (and remastered)?
