Blender 2.33 Re-enables Game Engine

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the back-in-business dept.

fforw writes "One and a half year after becoming free software, the Blender Foundation has released a new version of Blender which finally enables the game engine again. When Blender became free software. the game engine had to be disabled because SOLID, the collision library was not free software. After SOLID's author Gino van den Bergen changed his mind, Blender has now restored all functionality from the closed-source period."

    Just drop the have/has from your sentences when you are refering to a company. No matter which side of the pond you are on you are going to sound like an idiot to the other side if you use either. Besides, you are using "passive voice" - a serious no-no. Use neither and you sound succinct.

    Example:

    1) the Blender Foundation has released a new version
    2) the Blender Foundation have released a new version
    3) the Blender Foundation released a new version

    And the winner is??

    What does your special ability have to do with your hatred of nerds?
