Silicon Start up – Play video games for money BETA

  If you competed for cash playing video games would you prefer.. Head to Head match ups : Quick but lower payout Tournament : Longer but higher payout.

  Have you considered picking up some open-source games like Saurbraten or Nexuiz? There are some solid fast-paced FPS games out there that you could probably integrate with without too many issues.

    We didn't considered open source games AT ALL. Thanks. The only PC game we've considered is H1Z1. Is Saurbraten and Nexuiz free for alls or teams?

      Saurbraten ( http://sauerbraten.org/README.html http://sauerbraten.org/README.html ) is under the ZLIB license, and the engine tech is open source, but the content itself may require separate licensing (then again, it's pretty easy to hack on new textures and levels). Nexuiz is under the GPL ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexuiz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexuiz ), and more importantly, so is its content. Basic game plan (to me) would be to fork the engine code for one of these and add hooks for servers events and reporting, pay some devs to build a few arenas, and then test the waters. You could probably have pilot up in the time it would take to finish wrangling legal with anyone else.
