There are a few issues holding up a release, but a lack of interest from me isn’t one of them. If there weren’t commits being made almost daily, I would see your point: https://github.com/ioquake/ioq3/commits/master Vincent had a good point about some PR’s going stale, but those are being taken care of. Thanks to him for poking us. In order to ship a new release we need to behave more like a game from 2014. So, there is a new project on our github repository: https://github.com/ioquake/launch At Steam Dev Days I asked Valve about getting ioquake3 onto Steam directly and was told that we’d need the permission of id/Bethesda/Zenimax, which is unlikely. So, instead of getting onto Steam we need a Launcher similar to those used for modern downloadable games that aren’t distributed on Steam. If you’re interested in a more modern discussion system, since so few use this list anymore, please check out: http://community.ioquake.org/ Thanks, Zachary
