@iska@mstdn.starnix.network It hurts — in a way. You pay $6 for OpenArena, find a bug, report it to the dev listed in the Store, get ignored, try to find a fix yourself, discover the original dev & realize you could get the app and some support and still have your $6, get frustrated, shake your fist at the sky and say: "Damn you, MS and your fscking Store" — it's the last step they are trying to avoid, I think 😅
Not like they are are against payed for open source per se. The article mentions Paint.net as an example.
