The thing is, it's possible to call a spade a spade without resorting to ad hominem. Andrew's post would've been more effective if he focused more on the Rust port being for marketing, and the shortcomings of Bun's Zig implementation.

Instead, the first half of it solely consists of personal attacks.

I think it depends on your use case. For my personal projects (a mix of webdev & some Rust desktop apps) it's honestly very close to Opus 4.8 (which I use in my day job).

I don't feel like I'm missing out after cancelling my personal Claude subscription, whereas I used to feel that way a few months ago.

I use vp with sveltekit for my personal projects now, and I must say it's a very nice experience.

I enjoy my job a lot

I'll be real with you, I wouldn't make a throwaway account to talk about a bad company policy if I enjoyed my job.

I'd recommend looking for another, the job market is nowhere near as bad as people claim (at least for non-junior positions).

degrade functionality to a point where some players might say the game is unplayable etc.

Yeah, it's a good point, the law that may result from parliament does need to be clear on where the line is drawn.

Personally, I would expect singleplayer and LAN to work at EOL

Edit: on 3rd party libraries & services, I would expect that such vendors would need to make their software compliant for their customers after any law change on this front. No one is gonna buy GameLift if it's a legal liability for their EOL plan

That's not related to SKG though, that's storefront policy.

In principle, as long as _you_ are not blocking using the binary on hardware that supports (i.e. a player already has it installed on an old phone), you're in the clear.

SKG is explicitly _not_ advocating for lifetime support, compatibility with new devices, etc

Speaking as someone who's participated a few times, the organisers don't owe us jack shit, and have a right to stop whenever they want.

Mike clearly doesn't want to be a "kingmaker", and that's a good thing.
