Most games were programmed using GNU's C libraries and debugging tools. If you like vidya, especially retro vidya, you should appreciate and respect RMS.

Ultima Online is on Steam? Unless it's free or, like, ten bux with free online forever, I don't the the point at all.

the client will be free, but you still have to pay subscriptions every month. the reason it is on steam, is so retards think it is new and throw their lunch money at it. but wait, there is a twist. we can pay for the bastardized ea rendition of an old game, AND deal with the crippling botware that is steam. at the same time. no need to go to the host website anymore, nope, right in STEAM. WITHOUT FREE SHARD SUPPORT. HELL YEAH, tricking nostalgiafags and children in one whole package.

GDB is literally Satan. Have you ever tried to use it seriously? It's the most appalling thing ever designed.

Because any idiot can just reverse-engineer the UNIX userland like RMS did for the greater good of free software, right?

What he did was create a movement for similar functioning but free alternatives to UNIX tools, as well as creating very important tools such as GCC

Where do you come up with this bullshit? Some parts of the latest generation of retro games were coded in C. The cast majority of retro games weren't.

Neither the official paid servers do, these are total subscription, and there are like almost 30 servers total, so best you could get would be probably 1k players online at the same time.

Not to mention quite a few SNES, Genesis, PSX, Saturn, and N64 games were written and C on computer and then converted to the arch's assembler language. I can't say all of them used GNU's tools, but a few of them did.

No one's disputing that some games were written in C. It's a huge leap of insanity from that to "Most games were programmed using GNU's C libraries and debugging tools."
