Re: OpenGame Consortium

 

Hi, Jiba
It's a shame that you don't have enough time right now. Thanks anyway for
take the time to write your feedback.

I'd also like to expand a bit further the idea to all of you: the OGC should
try to achieve financial independence, through several mechanisms, for
example suscription services for online gaming, or fee's to compete in
online tournaments.

By doing so, we could act sustainably and devote more time in developing
games, contributing to an area in the FS world that needs great improvement.
