I saw this comment on a YouTube video about eXoDOS, and I find it really upsetting.

By their logic, my company's games are automatically "abandonware" the day they come out, because they're "no longer commercially viable" because Microsoft no longer "supports" MS-DOS

If I make a new NES game, does it automatically go in the "abandonware" bin?

Or better yet, let's say I made a Wii U game last decade. Should I lose my copyright on it because I decided not to port it to Switch?

Fuck this attitude

For the record, I'm actually in support of piracy-as-software-preservation for games that are no longer sold. But there are plenty of DOS games -- old and new -- that are still actively sold, and come pre-packaged with DOSBox so that you can run them.

eXoDOS contains the full registered and retail versions of Doom and Doom II, for crying out loud.

(I should note that I don't know who NullPoEx is, and they don't represent eXoDOS. They're just a random YouTube commenter AFAIK. But still, gross.)

I'm just a girl trying to scrape out a living for me and my friends, doing something we love

I would love to see @itchio implement a checkbox for specifying a DOS version. DOS lives! #DOSgaming

I'm really happy with this one 😊

Anyone know if there any pitfalls or potential gotchas with reading INT 15,84 to get the joystick state vs. the standard port polling loop method?

OH MY GOD

NO LIE, "Subspace Rhapsody" is an instant top-10 all-time Star Trek episode for me

Trek is best when it's having fun

Sometimes I think I enjoy making games more than I do playing them
