I originally got into Hedgewars for all the wrong reasons. At that time, I had gotten big into the philosophy of Richard Stallman and GNU/Linux. I was looking for something close to Worms that was licensed according to his philosophy.

I suppose that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But I never really liked Hedgewars. It's not a badly made game. It's just that it's not Worms. I grew up loving Worms. I still love Worms. I started playing Worms back with Worms 2. I also played Worms World Party a lot.

This is why I got so pissed off several years ago when I had the debate with the Hedgewars Team back when I wondered whether or not the GNU GPL License would conflict with Hedgewars being put on the Apple App Store. It didn't conflict, and there was no problem. But that's just it; the license, as odd is it sounds, was my reason for playing Hedgewars. To me, Hedgewars was the closest thing I could get to Worms and still hold to Stallman's philosophy. That's also why I always kept wanting the updates to Hedgewars to change Hedgewars by making it closer and closer to Worms.

After having had several years to reflect on this situation, I have decided that it should be the decision of the creators and owners of software whether or not they want to share the source code of the programs they write. It should also be the decision of the creators and owners of the software whether or not they want to charge money for the software they write. Writing software takes time, effort, and skill. There is nothing ethically wrong with the writers and owners of software keeping the source code of their programs closed and charging for their programs.

As such, I have no reason at all to keep playing Hedgewars. I have purchased many Worms Titles on Steam and am enjoying them a lot. I will no longer be playing Hedgewars. I will no longer be participating in the Hedgewars Community. I just wanted to explain this all to everyone as my goodbye. Goodbye.

Hello...This is my First post!
I was connectet for maybe 7hours (often AFK)
and when i wanted to play again a match , there was a Error Windows
"Connection to Server is Lost" Quit Reason: Connection refused"
I ve' checked my Internet connection...it's working
But why cant I play online????! PLEASE HELP!!!!

So, I am wondering if there are different campaigns I can download. I'm new around here, and have been playing worms for about 11 years. I was looking for a similar type game for linux, and I found it. My only problem is the campaign modes. They are well done and all, but for my tastes they are tedious. I like good old fashioned blowing up the other team (or drowning them, poisoning them, etc). So do the campaigns get less tedious and more action-y? Or is there some that I can download? If so, where? Thanks!

few days ago I went back to play and when I open a video I had saved I could not, could it be the upgrade Hedgewars? I wonder if there is way to play the following videos
