  Thanks you for recommending, this looks interesting!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. Right now developers get good deals when adding their games to game pass and the game pass is pretty cheap, but after game passes become “the thing” and developers have to be in a game pass, it will get worse for developers and consumers.

  Thanks! I will check them out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, I forgot about that. Yeah that could be good starting point!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing moderation is something that I would not want to do at the start. At least in the start all items would be created by me. This would be a side project for me and all user submissions would be verified (if ever allowed). This would be more like personal list rather than huge community project. Maybe if this evolved overtime then it could be something else.

  Yeah, wiki might be simplest solution for this, but I was wondering if there existed something more visually friendly. IMO wiki (similar to consumerrights.wiki/Main_Page) is less “pretty” to AlternativeTo. But using wiki could probably be starting point for this.

  Thanks for recommendation. I am technical, but more on backend side rather than front end. I would love to use something that is opensource. This would probably work, but seems like I would need the create a lot of things “from scratch”. This would be a side project so I am looking something that would be simple as possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, end goal would probably create something like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, pretty much this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Never hear about this and sad that it got cancelled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they already list alternatives to their site: alternativeto.net/software/alternativeto/ :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe in the future, but my goal for this site is to just list brands and not individual products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating similar service to AlternativeTo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for sharing! This has same idea that I am have plans! IMO this shows that wiki is bit less user friendly compared to what AlternativeTo has.

  I guess the scope was too ambitious. Economy is not doing that well so AAA studios don’t like to take any risks. Both this and Blizzard’s survival game was cancelled. It is sad that so many developer hours are wasted on these projects and we get nothing out of it. It would be amazing if these games would get released as open source for someone else to finish it.

  I second this! The game has really interesting idea and I have talked with developers and they are really awesome people.
