Yeah, honestly the F is the biggest reason I’m not hardline into FOSS. As a socialist I’m well aware of the benefits of decommodification, and I strongly believe in open sourcing software, but we live in a capitalist world and people are often stingy with donations. It’s part of the reason why I wouldn’t mind a subscription fee for using my instance, paying my admin enough to keep the server on and to compensate them for the labor they do feels reasonable to me.
I mean, look at Silica and compare it COD or Battlefield. Smaller indie project, supported by a bigger publisher and filled with heart. It looks like a dream game from when I was a kid.
I agree, this looks a lot like Natural Selection. In case you didn’t know, Natural Selection 2 exists and I believe still has a big enough community to find games.
Sometimes I will just go through the Steam Discovery Queue for like half an hour, it does a pretty good job if you properly give steam your opinion on the games.
Same. Be cool if there was some kind of “ethically made, fair hours and wages for workers” seal of approval for games.
We already have that, it’s called FOSS.
Facetiousness aside, I really don’t think there are any commercially released games that fit the bill.
I don’t think the whole “free labour” part of FOSS fits the “fair wage” requirement though :')

I dont know, a number of Indie studios could probably qualify.
KSP 1 was, at least at first, and Stardew Valley was made entirely by one guy

Battlezone meets Starcraft.

Same for me, most of my favorite games nowadays are indies. Like Valheim, Stardew Valley and more
