A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.

Let's not create 4 reposts such that the discussion is at one place and not spread out paper thin?

That's an inherent problem of the current Lemmy implementation, though, isn't it?

If you don't spread-post, it doesn't reach the appropriate communities and people, and communities are missing content. If you do, discussions are spread by community and posts, with only cross-post links under the post.

I'm hoping to someday be surprised that they are suddenly in a shared view by default. I haven't checked whether there's a feature request for it.
