@leon@peoplemaking.games @whitequark@mastodon.social @lunarood@mastodon.gamedev.place @mcc@mastodon.social Let me understand this clearly - your argument for why academics are fine to release their stuff, but other people aren't, is because academics are bad at making good software? Also, lol, lmao on ethics. There's a classic joke about that: in physics conference people are chatting about what are they focused on. One guy says that he's doing research on cylindrical objects in hypersonic flows. Another guy asks "oh, like missiles?", and the first guy revolts and responds "no, this is purely researching novel physics just for the sake of it, no military things here, I would never do anything like that".
