frankly every single fucking video game should be open source — i just figured this one would be an easy win since it already was open source
hello i like to make video games and stuff and also have a good time on the computer. look @ my pinned for some of the video games and things. sometimes i am horny on @squishfox
frankly every single fucking video game should be open source — i just figured this one would be an easy win since it already was open source
yeah honestly i don't really care in theory if someone wants to make a new proprietary doom engine at this point, like, in most cases good luck, that ship has sailed
but when you have the resources of microsoft and the first party privilege to name the "official" release and remove all the other legitimate ways to purchase the .WADs, and build one of your big selling features on hoovering up decades of misattributed community work
yeah that hits a little different
just waiting for the other shoe to drop when this new engine gets features that aren't compatible with the source ports to exclusively lock out anything made for it, because that's the pattern we've been doing in software for like thirty years that nobody ever seems to recognize
well how would you sell the games?: simply include the source code with the game when you buy it; gpl explicitly allows you to sell the code
