> Insurgent Games only open sourced once they gave up, so they clearly know that open sourcing all your code is not a good idea when you're selling games. To be a bit pedantic, all you can really say is that they didn't know whether open sourcing your code is a good idea when you're selling games. I could imagine myself being convinced that having open sourced a game makes you no more or less likely to lose market share to copycats than keeping it closed. I don't know that anyone's tried it, nor that there's a particularly good experiment one could do to test that.
