MSI Afterburner Dead? What Will You Use Going Forward?

[OFaceSIG]

You should read more than just the title of the thread. Development is continuing and a new version was just released.

I did.

"Anyway I’ll try to continue supporting it myself while I have some free time, but will probably need to drop it and switch to something else, allowing me to pay my bills."

Sounds like he won't be working pro-bono forever. Have a nice day.

As far as I understand it, msi is running the software now, not unwinder, due to the various embargos and sanctions.

Alexey Nicolaychuk is the creator of Afterburner and RivaTuner, and is a staff member of Guru3D, where those programs are developed. Guru3D basically serves as the official webpage of those programs.

Alexey posts on the Guru3D forums as Unwinder, and has confirmed the new release of Afterburner there.

I cannot comment current status of past year's licensing issues on public, sorry. The same apply to MSI, they won't be commenting it on public. That's mutual decision of both parties. I can only say that currently the project is still alive and both sides will try to do everything to keep it alive in future.

At the risk of sounding overly cynical, I wonder if all involved are trying to do an end run around the sanctions by MSI paying Guru3D $1000s/month for Reasons(tm); while Guru3D hopes to be small enough not to be investigated the way a major western company trying to employ people in Russia today would be.
