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.
I took Android sources as the sample and exaggerated it a bit.
That’s a lot of words just to say “I made it up”

If you think that was toxic, you must be very new to the Internet.
The part that annoys people is when you doubled down to try to save your argument instead of saying something along the lines of “yeah, you’re right”.

I think its more the lack of self awareness when you, with full confidence, made unverified claims and presented them as fact. That’s toxic. Me pointing out that you did so was not toxic.

Have you ever tried taking a step back when you’re upset or you just like digging yourself in deeper to make a fool of yourself in front of people?

I’m like nicotine. Toxic, but addictive.

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.
