Hello everyone. I PM'd leilelol before, wanted to get a reply first before posting here, but I'll reply here too anyways. I'm currently maintaining a slightly modified OA binary on the appstore. I'm a big fan of OA, been playing it since 0.7.0, and recently I've been using macs more often than windows.
[etc]
Die. Earning money off other people's work, bah. Legal or not, it's just pathetic. And not 99ct or something even slightly reasonable, no it's $7.
I don't read a single excuse for this in your post. You are right that this might have a big appeal to Mac users, but don't you think it's a bit VERY unfair to ask money for it? Especially if your goal is to promote OA?
I modified the source a bit to make it comply with the appstore requirements, which isnt really much. Only protocol change to OA's, and enabling cmd-q to quit.
Do you have any idea how insignificant that is compared to what all other developers did for openarena FOR FREE?
