  • It’s non-free, it’s non-libre, but it does pass the bar of open source software. The OSI, EFF, RMS or whoever don’t have to say it is in order for it to be true.

    You can distribute it but there are limitations on it, you can make a fork of Grayjay that is free to use, review, re-distribute and add parts to it adhering to other open source licenses from whence they were developed as long as it’s non-commercial, and doesn’t make any representations on behalf of FUTO or Rossman, essentially.






  • If I wanted a mature, well-performing city-building game experience I’ll play Cities: Skylines 1.

    From the reviews on that page, it sounds like Colossal Order delivered on the features it promised, but has lots of performance optimization left to do. By the sounds of it, on my laptop I’ll probably get 20fps and occasional stuttering on my gaming laptop by 10k population. I will see whether it is playable for my standards once it officially releases. I’d probably expect many game updates addressing performance and bugs in the first 6 months of release.

    The demand and happiness mechanics are fundamentally different so it’s important not to try to play it like CS1 and expect the same results.

    I’ve been looking forward to this game for months. Can’t wait for Tuesday, I’m theirs to disappoint.

  • I agree with your point overall in terms of AI not actually learning (I’d describe it as optimizing).

    However, I will say that inferring from what is not said is a tricky one to apply generally, which you do in your reply by jumping to conclusions as follows:

    The fact that they refused to reply hints that the reply would be against their best interests, either lying in a liable way or saying the truth and potentially ruining their investment.

    This is dangerous, can be used disingenuously and I discourage using it in our discourse.
