Show me a AAA FOSS game. Even the FOSS games that come close had their engines donated. Professional production software like Adobe, Office, CAD - The industry runs on proprietary. Blender is probably the best thing you have, and it was practically donated too.
Notice you’ve completely abandoned the web serving argument. Can’t defend it so you’ve moved on. We’ll add that to the list, another goalpost flying by at mach speed. Wonder if they’ll add it to Forza?
Show me a AAA FOSS game
AAA FOSS games is a deliberately narrow target designed to sound convincing. The gaming industry’s core infrastructure is heavily FOSS. The Linux kernel that Steam Deck runs on. Mesa graphics drivers. Vulkan. SDL. OpenAL. The entire graphics stack underneath every game including your precious AAA titles runs on “commie garbage.” It’s not whether the marketing budget and cutscenes of a AAA title are open source. It’s whether the industry could function without FOSS infrastructure. It couldn’t.
Even the FOSS games that come close had their engines donated
Once again, you do half the work for me. If FOSS is garbage why do commercial studios donate their engines to it? id Software open sourced Quake’s engine. Epic contributes to open standards. Donations flow toward FOSS precisely because the commercial ecosystem benefits from shared infrastructure. You’ve just described companies recognizing the value of what you call “garbage.”
Professional production software like Adobe, Office, CAD - The industry runs on proprietary
Adobe and Office dominate through network effects and proprietary lock-in, not purely technical superiority. Quality? That’s just an argument for switching costs. LibreOffice handles the vast majority of office tasks. DaVinci Resolve has a free tier that professional editors use for Oscar-nominated titles. The tools exist. The dominance is structural, not meritocratic. Capitalists do love to believe in their myths.
Blender is probably the best thing you have, and it was practically donated too.
Blender is your worst example. Blender is in active production use at major studios, such as in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and is maintained by a foundation funded by Epic, Adobe, and Meta who pay for its development because building proprietary alternatives costs more. “Practically donated” is you accidentally describing why FOSS works. Companies fund it because the output is worth more than the cost of maintaining it. You make this SO easy.
You keep moving to new ground every time the current ground collapses. ECC. Abandonment. Web serving. Now games and Adobe. How many more before you answer the question of why you hate “FOSS commie garbage” so much but continue to avidly use and moderate on it?
Do you even try to make sense?
