mox@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Day 259 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playingEnglish4·3 months agoI noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to “until l forget to post Screenshots”? I don’t think you forgot, did you?
Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.
It’s a pity that its current custodian’s commercial licenses:
- are subscriptions
- are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
- have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use the open-source license for a FOSS project
This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won’t get any money from me at all; I feel that I can safely use their libs only in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can’t help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.
Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.
Yes, this is the way.
Sure.

It’s possible that they did it in-house, of course, but there’s no precedent for it. No previous Civ had a linux version done in-house.

Somebody please wake me up when these atrocities are gone. (And thanks, Steam, for making them easy to discover.)
