No not spite. Money. Freedom. Collaboration. When did I mention spite? I know some of you guys have your opinions that open gaming won't happen. You think only billion $$$ budgets make consoles. If EA want an open console, the FOSS fanatics and Acer want an open console... that's probably enough momentum to get something started...isn't it?
DrMK Yes it is relevant. For a start I can sell that PC to anyone that needs one. Again. Try that with an Xbox. Also what about if a parent buys one for their child. If the format flops, the parent can still use it as a PC. Just another scenario for you there.
Some minds just aren't up for new ideas or possibilities I guess. I believe open gaming will rise. I wish Acer well and will support them all the way. As will many FOSS advocates.
