- TYMorningCoffee 7mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Dungeon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_Dungeon is an example of that. The bad forks dont become popular
- kbelder 7mo agoAnd if it's a better fork... it's still open source, so you can switch to it or fork it back. Open source licenses shouldn't be viewed as a marketing strategy; it's a gift.
- wavemode 7mo ago> how do you prevent You don't. Giving people the right to do this is the whole point of open source. If that possibility is not acceptable then don't open source your game.
