Rant:
I hate those open source (usually clones) games which are 30 years in the development. IMO it makes the gaming experience worse!
Good games comes with final versions and titles such as: fallout 1, fallout 2, fallout 3, fallout NV, fallout 4. fallout 5.
That makes it way better. For example I remember playing some open source games in 2002 on my pentium 1, while the newest version of it requires much much much more memory and cpu, despite being the same game... (freeciv for example).
Rolling versions of all software is awful leading to fragmentation instead of rock solid final release versions.
Tell me how many versions, extensions, remaster and patches World of Warcraft actually have today?
This game is in development for so long because it is driven by volunteers who don't work on this game full time. It doesn't have near the resources that the studio behind fallout has.

But why does not make 0ad bad? You want to play it on an pentium 1?
I'm seeing you don't like the rolling release, but I can't see the "why".
...so? It's a hobby project, not a product. It's about the journey, not the result.
Good thing for them they're at it to have fun, not to please you. And good thing for you they're not charging you for it if you do wanna try.
I have no idea what you're ranting about. 0ad is fantastic. I've never played Fallout, but it seems you want it to release versions like that? Why? It's not a version/story game but an iterative design on the same game.
The first two Fallout games are quite worthwhile, if you should find the time and can appreciate RPG:s with caustic jokes and satire.
