Context: I saw a post a while about Paradox Interactive cancelling their life simulation game Life By You and someone commented saying they wish Paradox Interactive would release what they’ve completed under an open source license. Follow up comments said it wasn’t feasible largely due to a Russian nesting doll of licenses that wouldn’t be compatible.

Question: What would be some obstacles in making a modern stereotypical AAA or indie game open source? Or even just segments for it for that matter?

This would be ignoring the financial impact. It would be like CD PROJEKT RED making Cyberpunk 2077 as open source as possible as a an action of good will.

    Awww. Not my precious Lemmy clout! I’ll have you know I once got 25 up votes on a comment and I’ve never submitted a post. You don’t know who you’re messing with.

      I know who I’m messing with. I’m messing with a person that violates this community’s rules and possibly Lemmy’s terms by promoting nicotine. Lol of course you’ll be upvoted by fellow users but that doesn’t make your actions any better.

        Oh my god you’re incapable of understanding sarcasm. You were the fucking weiner in school reminding the teacher of homework she forgot was due, weren’t you?

          Sir, promoting nicotine as a joke is still promoting nicotine. Its target audience doesn’t treat it as a joke. And now you’re turning personal. I could say what I thought about you but that’s against the rules so I’ll just report.

              Reported. Now I’m blocking you so I don’t see personal fights on Lemmy again. Also please beware that harassing me may result in a report to the police.

                You know in America threatening someone with police action is like threatening murder, right? Your pathetic tattletale behavior might kill someone someday.
