He's just scared of open sourcing old games because everyone will see how shitty his code is... permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 108 points 1 year ago (1 child) That's completely misguided, because people can see his code anyway (in his streams), and also because he will never finish or release his game permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago Probably little incentive to do so given how much money theyβre making from Twitch, YouTube, etc. permalink fedilink source parent [β] null@slrpnk.net 39 points 1 year ago (1 child) But that's not even what Stop Killing Games is about... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) It's one possible solution for one of the problems under the same umbrella. If you can't or don't want to run the servers for your online game (eg: Echo VR), just open source the server's code and let the community keep the game running. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] null@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 child) You don't need to open source the code to release the server binaries. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) But you could open source it and have the community figure it out themselves permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] null@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago Of course, but the point is that it isn't a factor in Thor's decision. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Goodeye8@piefed.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) But even then it's astronomically unlikely to be retroactively enforced.
