[Haifux] [W2l] Open Source Games or the Lack of Them

[Ram-on Agmon]

שלום אורון.

למרות שאני קצת מסתייג מהסגנון, אני נוטה להסכים לתוכן. ככול שפיתוח קנייני
הינו יקר יותר, המסה של המפתחים בקוד פתוח יכולה להוות אלטרנטיבה אמיתית.

המשחקים המפותחים כבר עכשיו בקוד פתוח יכוליים להוות תחליף ראוי לכל מי שלא
מחפש את המילה האחרונה ויכול להסתפק בסתם כיף לכמה שעות.

שבת שלום.
רם און.
