I think the fact that you focus on the "entitlement" and that I focus on the fact that the maintainer gave a bullshit, misleading answer to an important question, is related to the fact that you don't mind having to log in to download a tool and I do.
Negativity - rightfully so imo.
Entitlement - many people have contributed to the docker project. It's open source. Entitlement comes with the territory.
It's the hateful and cruel comments that bother me. State your opinion of the move to a loginwall, don't hate the ppl who did it.
You can't be a successful startup if you don't have a list of your product's users.
Id Software does not have a list of people who used Doom.
Literally. the first version required you to register by phone or mail in order to get the full game.
If you mean the most recent version... they know exactly which commercial retailers purchased the game, and in what quantities. They might not know exactly which consumer ended up with those games, but those consumers were not their customers, the retailers were.
Either way... Holy shit is that github thread full of negativity and entitlement! Pretty shocking. Even if you’re unhappy with something, that’s no way to treat a team that is giving you a tool for free!
