Free 3D MMORPG Planeshift Ported To Mac OS X

Posted by timothy on from the imaginary-creatures-dying-in-droves dept.

superfebs writes "While Planeshift, the free (yes, as in Freedom, who cares otherwise) 3D MMORPG, is moving towards the 0.3 version, which will provide combat (read: flows of fresh blood), the current release has been ported to Mac OS X. Now more people can enjoy going around in a fantasy world chatting with others and collecting crystals. Oh, beta testers are needed."

    Hardly. That's part of what "Free" means. It means "Free to take, sell, modify, incorporate into devices to lock in the consumer, and do WHATEVER THE FUCK ELSE I WANT TO DO WITH IT".

    That being said, GPL is very fucking far from free.

    the free (yes, as in Freedom, who cares otherwise)

    See, this is where it gets confusing - you equate 'free' (as in traditionally, 'beer') with 'Freedom' (note the capital there). Now are you referring to the US branded version of 'Freedom' which means 'you are free (to do what you are told)' or what?

    As posts consist about GPL, Freedom, beer posts also clever karma whores and giving no tips etc..

    Did you post this mac/game spesific thing to front page?

    As a Mac only user, I BEG YOU DON'T...

    I really started to give up Mac stories on Slashdot.

    Its a god damn free GAME, can be downloaded and run straight away. I don't give a CRAP about what damn part is GPL, what isn't!

    Now waiting for "But Dell is cheaper than xxx Mac posts"...

    Linux using nerds has nothing to say except GPL license they memorized: Stay away from Apple.slashdot.org, I BEG YOU!

    ps:Posted with bonus karma, feel free to censor this post via downmodding.
