This story from 2003 also had nothing to do with technology yet it was neither the first nor the last political story on this site. If you don't like it you can leave.
After doing some sleuthing, we realized our findings actually reaffirm a 2010 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology titled “A Little Thanks Goes a Long Way.” In this Grant & Gino study, 69 college student participants got one of two emails asking for help with a cover letter. Half received an email that with a line that included “Thank you so much!” The other half got a similar email, sans an expression of gratitude. The study found that recipients were more than twice as likely to offer assistance when they received the email that included “thank you.”
1. Specifically require QA milestones. If a project never makes it out of an alpha or beta state, it never gets to be priced as anything but free. Those testing the game must simply put a "I feel this milestones objectives have all been met" or "I feel this milestone has not been met" checkbox in order to move up the QA phase. If people complain the game lacks polish or is too difficult (or way too easy) then the developer must find a 95% percentile pass on difficulty.
Are you naive enough to think this couldn't be easily gamef?
Aww, seems I struck a nerve with a defensive Mozillian. I never said my opinion was anything but my opinion. The simple fact that no one of note uses this toy language for anything seems to agree with me. But, hey, you can have fun with your toy and continue to make silly claims that it will replace C and C++ which will never actually happen.
Why should anyone believe that Mozilla will make a better systems language? Rust is still horrendous to use even 7 years in to development. More people own Windows Phones than use Rust.
Yeah yeah. You guys have been saying that Rust will replace C and C++ for 7 years and yet it's still a toy that next to no one uses outside of Mozilla.

Another swing and a miss.
Trying way to hard with your troll attempt.

Slashdot has had political stories for nearly all of its 2 decades of life.
Because Slashdot has had political stories on it for 2 decades.

Fake news! Fake news! The WHO is Chinese communist plot to destroy the straight, WASP American family! /s
It's an augmented reality device. Couldn't be bothered to even read the first sentence of the summary?
Then maybe that is a sign that running a game company isn't in the cards for you.
By "free" they mean "no cost" (aka the definition used by 99.9+% of the world). They are not using the Stallman pedantry definition.

That seal of quality meant nothing more that the game was guaranteed to run on the NES. There are tons of shit-tier games with that seal.
Don't worry! The Waaaaaahmbulance is on the way!
I can read just fine. Saying that "things are just fine" unless you do things that are absolutely commonplace is a stupid statement.
So it's great unless you have to do the something that makes it suck? Wow, what insight!
How dare you make light of the Zenefits Massacre!
They have these new inventions called "food processors". You might want to check them out.
And was its ruler Namor or Aquaman?
7 years is "overnight"?
What am I supposed to see about Go?

Do you the attention span of a flea? Read the whole summary. It's not that long.
Except that telemetry and user studies never captures data from all users so it is highly susceptible to selection bias.
