Personally I consider the demands for free software an annoyance. But we're all different.

I've hated Linux distributions who doesn't use the superior Nvidia graphics drivers or codecs for videos and audio and flash because I kinda "needed" that for a decent usage of the machine.

I understand the point of demanding that is to force development to go that way and that likely work to some extent but .. I don't really want to live with the consequences =P

I don't see why one should be a fan of Steam in the first place if one want free software. Humble bundle often sell games without copy protection so why not use that version instead? Personally I think it's somewhat fun to be able to share images and write reviews and such on Steam even if that mean it cost more money.. So I kinda don't like it in one way.

I think there's a free Command & conquer clone, there's also free Quake-like games.

I don't see the beauty in Nethack either.

I got another copy of this: http://store.steampowered.com/...
And the one kinda IS beautiful. I guess I should play it.

However I can only imagine that playing a MUD would be so much more fun than playing a single-player adventure though.

Even know if they got like 10-15 friends to join them in playing MUD on the school don't you think they would start to enjoy it a lot? Some would likely drop out but some would likely drop in.

I have never really sank my fingers into a MUD but multi-player is always beyond single-player.

Also one can still use free software, it cost nothing, one can still be social (headset and Skype while playing?), it cost nothing and so on.

Pros:

+ Have "smooth" flat tiles #3068
+ Initial support for airplanes, and mining vehicles
* Misc. decorations

Cons:
- Single player only

Anyone have an idea of what the world height and size is limited to?
