MODERATORS
My understanding is VK group is developing something on their engine.
Gaijin founders are Russian, they have major investors which are Russian, developers which are Russian.
While I'm not going to bet on it one way or another I would not be surprised if it was to avoid sanctions in order to keep contractual obligations / make Russian investors happy.
Why would taking a previously proprietary "asset" and making it open source make russian investors happy?
Because they are your investors?
And why are they happy that something they paid a lot of money for is now public?
