but i don’t see how your going to convince the developers to license it

Please let me know if I understand what this is about correctly: We have the
opportunity to get a proprietary game using a proprietary download software
at no monetary price.
If so, what does this has to do with Trisquel and free software?.
I want this game freed!!!

Check (http://libregamewiki.org/) for a list of juegos libres!.
I sort-of agree that it would be nice if all game data was also free, but
it's nowhere near as important as having free software.
Very few games would ever be developed if it was not possible to sell the
game data for profit. An entire multi-billion dollar industry has sprung up
in game
THANKS!
It's a shame this game data can't be obtained through a simple http download.
That would seem to negate the problem. Why do they insist on distributing
this data through their proprietary software program? Is it a DRM thing?
The whole situation is unfortunate, because this could be a shining
I don't think it's a good thing to promote using a proprietary program to
obtain a copy of a proprietary cultural work to use with a libre program.
Origin is being unethical; that's all there is to it. Being a one-time
usage does not make it OK.
If you want to share the work ethically, do
Why do we have proprietary apps promotion on the Trisquel forums? Why is
the confusion between gratis and libre encouraged? This thread should
not exist here according to the forum rules.
You're not talking about using a proprietary program to replace it. You're
talking about obtaining a copy of something by running a proprietary program.
The only possible analog I can think of is doing so with the intent of
sharing copies of the data with others illegally; in that case, you
That would be hypocrisy. I experienced people on this forum who can't stand
to use a small piece of non-free blob without a sharp critique, but they
seems to be fine with using Windows in dual-boot on their computers. It's
very hard to conform to all the Biblical laws, country laws, and
If i had to choose between a rich world of non-free *culture* (such as video
game art) and a dry desert of free culture (which would probably be a
consequence of the difficulties making cash out of artistic work), i'd choose
the first one.
Non functional data doesn't have to be free,
What mYself is suggesting is using proprietary game data with a libre game
engine. The problem here is he's suggesting getting that data using a
proprietary program.
I'm sure people have already shared the game illegally. Unfortunately, being
illegal makes it difficult to share. Still, I
Not just that, @mYself should've pointed out the possibility of making a free
as in freedom replacement of this game. Not just Hey! Wanna get a free as in
beer game through a non-free + DRM platform?
Also, this thread should be in the troll hole as it has very little to do
with Trisquel or
Looks like more proprietary malware:

Not only is suggesting proprietary software foolish, it is potentially
dangerous in this case.
This is why we support free software--if Origin were free, the community
would remove the spyware and carry on.
We have to decide what we will do with our system.
I have only Trisquel as operation system, because I want the change in my
life. On this fact I stopp to playing Starcraft 2 (my favorit game on
windows) and try one year to find the right operation systen and actuall it

Theme Hospital is a business simulation game developed by Bullfrog
Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1997, in which the player
designs and operates a hospital. Like most of Bullfrog's games, Theme
Hospital is permeated by an eccentric sense of humour. The game
So... is this really all free (libre) software?
I haven't stated anywhere that the client is free software. Like Steam, you
need to use proprietary software to legally obtain the game data, which then
can be used in freedom. It's a one-time usage scenario. If you're not okey
with that. I'm pretty sure you can ask a friend to get the game
