I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.
Just thinking
What are your ideas on how this could actually be implemented?
the distinction between big and small companies is artificial , a big company can still have a small product with low profit margins, and both big and small companies can be managed by the same mutual funds and pension funds (vanguard , blackrock, fidelity etc).
@wiki_me @vk6flab Yes, I created the DFSG and then made it the OSD. Please read the text at https://perens.com/static/DEVELOPMENT_LICENSE.txt?v=2004_04_01 , specificially the definition of YOU. It sounds like I should add _owners_ to YOU as well as _ownership_.
I recommend that you take that observation to @BrucePerens_K6BP@mastodon.radio himself.
