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.

    This makes no sense. Toxic is toxic, even if it’s not extremely toxic. Don’t justify toxicity if it’s less than average or maximum.

    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 don’t see that I did anything wrong except for giving unchecked wrong info. My “defense” was ok. Maybe I exaggerated the size more than just “a bit” but still.

      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.

        I agree that giving unverified info is bad but it looks like 99% of people here do it so idk. It doesn’t make it good though. Also your toxicity isn’t in what you say but in how you say it. But you won’t understand. You’re hopeless like a lot of people here (at least 2/3 are toxic but idk how many are hopelessly toxic). Again, just so you don’t suspect me in changing the topic, it doesn’t justify me giving wrong info.

          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.

                  Well don’t worry about that here. Worse comes to worse is anonymous people like me will bug you because you make it easy and you respond without fail, giving people exactly what they want.

              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.
