Judging by screenshots, such a shame for so much hard work to go to waste. Wish they would open source it. I would suggest AGPL to protect their IP from being stolen(IANAL so don’t quote me), but I would take anything if it meant the work of talented people didn’t go to waste.

Hopefully a modding scene can thrive and make something decent from these ashes.

Oh, I did not know that. I haven’t been following closely but I had heard it was a horrid bait-n-switch for the gameplay. I guess I could not put it past the studio to stoop that low.

I still maintain it would be cool if they open sourced the game. Asset licenses permitting.

IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer

I can’t tell if you’re making a joke or not so there is the definition of the acronym. I added the comment because AGPL may not be the best suited license for it or any similar project. But from what I can recall, AGPL also requires forks/modifications for SaaS purposes to also make their source code available. Whereas GPL, or any others from what I can tell(again not a lawyer), does not require forks/modifications for SaaS to follow the same license.

To paraphrase an analysis that I read awhile ago, Apple’s practices were found to be legal because Apple applied the rules unilaterally whereas Google would make backroom deals to alter the rules on an app-by-app basis.

Please take this with a grain of salt because 1) IANAL and 2) it is the middle of a workday break and I didn’t take the time to search for a source, just basing this off of memory.

If you want I can research this after work to provide sources and update my comment.
