# Xonotic
*RIP sweet prince*
Xonotic was a [free as in freedom](free_software.md) fast multiplayer arena [first-person-shooter](fps_game.md) [game](game.md) similar to e.g. [Quake](quake.md). It ran on [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md), [Winshit](windows.md), [BSD](bsd.md) and other systems. It was one of the best libre games, i.e. games completely free by both code and data/content. It was available under [GPLv3](gpl.md). Its gameplay, graphics and customizability were pretty great, it may well have been the best in the AFPS genre, even compared to AAA [proprietary](proprietary.md) games -- this kind of quality is very rare among libre/noncommercial games.
UPDATE: **Xonotic as a game died in summer 2023** when the retarded developers couldn't get an erection without CONSOOMING NEW CONTINT and started just blindly pushing bugs and balance breaking changes without listening to player complaints at all (and actually banning many for voicing criticism, including [drummyfish](drummyfish.md)), demonstrating [update culture](update_culture.md) at its worst. The main server became a meme overnight, all [fun](fun.md) (such as friendly push) was removed from the game to create a "safe space" for players, possibly to get the game ready for Steam sales or make it more open to noobs and advertisers. RIP. If you can [fork](fork.md) Xonotic and restore it to its previous glory, please do so.
