Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

  Well sure, software gets forked and continued all the time, but there’s quite a stark difference between just using open source software or actively maintain it. Not everyone is a software developer, so I still don’t see why “just fork it” is the answer. Those who have the capabilities probably already thought of it no?

    If you understand that this is true, then I don’t really understand your argument. If this happens all the time for other software, then why can’t it for Lutris? You’re just saying that people who are not software developers cannot develop software? Okay… yeah.

      I’m not providing any argument, I’m just asking.

        Okay, so yeah if you’re not a software developer, then forking it and developing the software is not an option for you. Your only option is to simply continue waiting for all of the software you use to be created by other people and handed to you, like you do already.
