Here's a thread on another forum that goes into a lot more detail: https://forum.quartertothree.com/t/the-third-doctrinal-war-stardock-reiche-ford-and-star-control/134515/2155
It turns out that Stardock has also announced layoffs today, probably because of the lost revenue from no longer being able to publish Star Control, SCII, and SC:O on GOG or Steam.
Last week, the court ruled against Stardock, basically saying that the company, and its founder Brad Wardell in particular, had acted in bad faith throughout and had brought this whole mess on themselves, and ruled that Star Control: Origins did, in fact, violate R&F's copyright.
Yesterday, R&F filed a DMCA takedown. Star Control: Origins is no longer available on Steam or GOG.
(Good. Fuck Brad Wardell, who's a Nazi and a sex pest.)
2018 was the year I concluded that any system whose purpose is to measure, capture, and monetize human attention is immoral and inevitably leads to the erosion of the commons and society itself. In 2019 I'm committed to helping dismantle these systems by all possible means.
Concretely this means supporting nonprofit alternatives like mastodon, blocking all ad tracking (sorry, people whose livelihoods have been captured by that industry), and doing whatever most damages the attention industry.
PSA: GZDoom, in many respects the leading Doom source port, has a very powerful scripting language called ZScript. It's what 100% of Mr. Friendly was written in. Marrub has documented Zscript extensively and it should be current as of the GZDoom version released just today: https://github.com/marrub--/zscript-doc
