Games rarely work with an open source business model, so that's why there aren't any really great ones.
It's not all about business models. People make things out of personal interest too.
Tell me you have no clue about video games without telling me you have no clue about video games.
its funny how wrong they are, like games are probably the best suited case for it - no massive security risks, players could implement features they want.
if Minecraft was open source from the get go, it'd probably be bigger than unreal by now
Big or not, they talked about great games, and there are many incredible open source games, however not always very popular.
I mean, technically even games like morrowind could be called open source now, with Open Morrowind.
