Christina WarrenHuge props to @isaacmarovitz who recently put his fantastic OSS project, #Whisky in maintenance mode. Whisky is a macOS front end to play games using #Wine and the Apple’s Wine-based GPTK. Isaac explains his reason on his docs page and I have to say, this is what integrity looks like. https://docs.getwhisky.app/maintenance-notice
As an end user, I’m sad such a great tool that I personally had a lot of use out of (and that I preferred to CrossOver, a product I highly admire), but as a person, I think seeing this sort of integrity from a someone still in school is just incredible. Read his full blog. But these quotes stand out.
This can’t have been an easy decision. And I don’t even want to look at any of the comments he’s probably been getting from the community of fucking vultures who are mad they might have to pay for CrossOver now. But this is what integrity looks like.
I also think Apple, CodeWeavers, or Valve should hire him to do this sort of work. Valve or Apple could even open source it. OK, Apple would never, but Valve could. Anyway, props @isaacmarovitz thanks for your excellent project.
CTD@film_girl absolutely respect and admire his decision. OSS is a huge time sink and users often have completely unrealistic expectations. I will continue to keep my Whisky install active until it becomes unusable.
Blue Prince (via Steam) works nicely so that’s going to keep me occupied
