I wonder if she’ll talk about how development of the software came to a complete standstill after sunspire purchased it and forked it into “closed source land”.
There seems to be an attempt to breathe some life back into the game via ppracer, but the setback that the program took is very palpable.

Why development didn’t continue after sunsprie made it commercial is easy to explain, there simply weren’t much contributors to beginn with, it was for most part a one man project and this one man than founded sunspire. That of course left nobody around to continue development of the OSS Tuxracer.
Anyway, we should be extremly thankfull to Sunspire, without them the OSS Tuxracer would look nowhere near as good as it does today.

Am I wrong, or did Sunspire completely go away?

This goes to prove that all Linux gamers are under 14.
