I've long wondered why the thriving community around Minecraft doesn't get behind Luanti or a similar open source "clone", especially since so much of the community stuff itself is open source. I fear this may be a painful lesson for those people that open source matters. It's not the license cost (aka the free as-in beer freedom) that is the problem, it's the free as-in speech that is the problem. If you don't use software that respects your rights, don't expect it to respect your rights. All you can do is pray they don't alter the deal further.

"Gibbons talks ape shit" would have been a nice headline with a grammatical tripwire.

Is it completely unreasonable for me to expect a representative of an organization like the ESA to know better than this?

This is such an absurd thing to say. It is so ignorant on the subject of games and game servers that it borders on contempt toward the entire topic

I wish we could expect better out of organizations like this but it seems like they really don't care to take their work seriously
