Do we need a Libre/OpenSource Game-Store/Hub ?
(lemmy.world)
Do we need a standalone Libre/OpenSource Game-Store/Hub ??? (similar to Athenaeum)
where we simply aggregate all the FOSS games in one place along with their mods & links to their assets (Plus methods to fund those libre-gamedevs)
I mean anyone can make a proprietary game and then put it under an open source license later. Its why people push companies to do this if they are going to abandon the game. One problem is sometimes they are fine with the game but they want to use the ip in succeeding games so the ip has to be stripped out.
Yes, I hadn't thought about such motivation. In this case, maybe it is possible to at least release only the code under an open/free license.
and that is sorta what happens. I think doom is like this.
