ioquake3 1.36 Goes Gold

Time Doctor writes "The de-facto standard in Quake 3 engine technology, ioquake3, has hit version 1.36 recently. It includes a garbage bag full of improvements: in-game VOIP; optional external Mumble (voip); OpenAL; IPV6; anaglyph stereo rendering; Full x86-64 architecture support; Rewritten PowerPC JIT compiler, with ppc64 support; new SPARC JIT compiler, with support for both sparc32 and sparc64; improved console command auto-completion; persistent console command history; improved QVM (Quake Virtual Machine) tools; colored terminal output on POSIX operating systems; multiuser support on Windows systems (user-specific game data is stored in their respective Application Data folders); PNG format support for textures. Of course, there are even more fixes for security holes and other bugs in there. So, if you don't like ads and queues in your Quake 3 experience, get a copy of Quake 3 off Steam and copy your data files and key into your ioquake3 directory."

Re:Go STEAM yourself ...

1) As soon as the Steam servers go down, this argument goes down with it. ^^
By the way: I can not remember having a Steam login, and I bet it does not exist anymore. But I have HL2 as a Steam game, which came with my old graphics card. So how exactly do I download this again?? (Hint: I can't!)

2) Even if yo don't get the original price, you get some money, and the *other* person can own and play it too!

3) That argument is irrelevant, because it's not about the money. It's about being able to actually *own* a game. You know. To do with it what you please. Not to have an encrypted file on your system that you can only reinstall, when you got a Steam client and a Steam server available. And that still can corrupt.
