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.

      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?

                Yes. In that case some of them start inventing all kinds of stuff about me, spreading it and making my friends think I’m a criminal. That wasn’t a good experience. Not doing it again.

                  Someone made something up about you once, so now your plan is to never be introspective again for the rest of your life?

                  Good luck with that. I’m sure the issue in that situation was definitely how self-aware you were at the time.

              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.

                I know who I’m messing with. I’m messing with a person that violates this community’s rules and possibly Lemmy’s terms by promoting nicotine. Lol of course you’ll be upvoted by fellow users but that doesn’t make your actions any better.

                  Oh my god you’re incapable of understanding sarcasm. You were the fucking weiner in school reminding the teacher of homework she forgot was due, weren’t you?

                    Sir, promoting nicotine as a joke is still promoting nicotine. Its target audience doesn’t treat it as a joke. And now you’re turning personal. I could say what I thought about you but that’s against the rules so I’ll just report.
