Our friends at (((Tencent))) are caressing the Linux Foundation with their slimy tentacles. Red Hat has nothing on these yellow Jew wannabes and the last thing the FOSS ecosystem needs is a dodgy chink corporation caling the shots.

Largest Chinese tech company right now. Owner of League of Legends, PUBG, and partial owner of Epic Games. Basically they're cancer in the most literal sense. Apple Microsoft, and Google have their own problems, but Tendent and their sleeping with the Chinese government and their desperate push for western relevance is unmatched

Sony did share some code a few times. You can't expect them to show you their proprietary code for the console. It would increase the amount of piracy and basically kill their console market, which would be retarded since they're the only relevant home console in most countries.

Those 2 were the first of their genre. Sure both genres are shit. Dota 1 hardly counts when it's just a Warcraft 3 map and not an actual game or even a game mod.

Doesn't change the fact that's it's the only good OS on the market.

Tencent started out by making knockoffs of western games like LoL and TF2. As they grew bigger, they eventually had enough shekels to buy majority shares in the games they originally ripped off.

Freetards always get schitzo beyond belief when their shitty projects actually gain traction, paid developers, and big sponsors. They also get triggered when nobody gives a fuck about their shit and uses proprietary software, whimpering something random about corporate this and that.
Can't keep them happy, I'd say just don't give them any money because that's so bad, and exploit their freely available code maximally without contributing back at all. Problem solved, no more slimy corporate tentacles, just sweet sweet exploitation of gullible never happy freetards and profits. Just like fucking a whore for free.

Still nothing preventing it. Also how do companies that "turn everything to shit" consistently churn billions in profit, hmm?
>>935878
No it doesn't, just use free software others made without changing code which would require sharing changes back. That also is preferred path of freetards who hate idea of corporations making proprietary software and also hate idea of corporations putting their slimy tentacles to codebase. So, just exploit it all for free, done.

If the game's developer actually builds in support to play that "mod" right into the game and explicitely approves of it then it should count.

When did blizzard and mojang explicitly approve dota and hunger games mod? When did they build in support for those specifically? Sure, blizzard had tournaments but that's basically it. They basically tried to kill off dota as soon as dota 2 was announced.
Mods, and especially maps, aren't a part of the game.
You're just wrong, it has to be the actual developers to implement and build in the mod for it to count. If warcraft/StarCraft had an actual moba game mode then you'd be right. Blizzard would be the ones who made a game of the genre, while aos devs would be (and still are) the ones who made the genre.

Well Microsoft did when embedding preapproved servers directly into the game. In order to be approved things representing blood and references to stuff like that had to be removed from the game. People from Microsoft came and played every single game to ensure that it was acceptable for adding it to their game since there is a large kid audience.
