This game is in development for so long because it is driven by volunteers who don't work on this game full time. It doesn't have near the resources that the studio behind fallout has.

So keep the old version you liked? The nice thing about open source is that you even get to share that version with others - much better than commercial games where almost everything multiplayer is also a live service these days.

Tell me how many versions, extensions, remaster and patches World of Warcraft actually have today?

Counterpoint: Minecraft

I could go on, but the argument doesn't really merit it.

> For example I remember playing some open source games in 2002 on my pentium 1, while the newest version of it requires much much much more memory and cpu, despite being the same game..

But why does not make 0ad bad? You want to play it on an pentium 1?

I'm seeing you don't like the rolling release, but I can't see the "why".

Good thing for them they're at it to have fun, not to please you. And good thing for you they're not charging you for it if you do wanna try.

...so? It's a hobby project, not a product. It's about the journey, not the result.

I have no idea what you're ranting about. 0ad is fantastic. I've never played Fallout, but it seems you want it to release versions like that? Why? It's not a version/story game but an iterative design on the same game.
