This is a BAD THING. It's not bad enough everyone's fighting over copyrights and trademarks as is, that we have to allow yet another market into the fray. Especially since the scent in question is a natural occurance. What are they going to do, sue mother nature for infringment?
I've been wishing for a Linux version of Radiant for some time now. I've felt like a cheater whenever I'd reboot into Winblows just to create game maps. Plus, having to reboot at least twice a session wasn't healthy for my creative energies. Now, I have to wonder if they'll fix some of the bugs in Radiant, or if it's just going to be a straight port... Of course, to really impress me, they need to port Lightwave and let me do map development in it. Ohh yeah.

A little over a month ago, an EQ subscriber was banned from the game for "Cheating", as described by Verant staff. (Actually, he wasn't immediatly told he was cheating, it was three days after his account was deleted) Although the guy continued to claim innocence, Verant would not provide further details on why he was banned other than "cheating", nor would they allow him to defend himself. They have slowly been building up to this kind of manuver, and I'm not suprised at all that they wanted data on other processes that your system is running. They have become so paranoid about maintaining "their world", that I believe several execs. would destroy the entire user base just to maintain the continuity of their dream.
