The real question is, can we expect a FOSS release of old (or new) valve code any time soon? It seems natural given their modder-friendly nature and their shift towards GNU/Linux. Plus, it's about time someone else followed Carmack's example.
- keypusher 14y agoTheir approach has generally to release their tools and SDK so others can build using their tools. I don't think they have much interest in releasing the code, but they have always wanted (and benefited from) the community taking their tools and engine and building cool stuff.
- spacelizard 14y agoI think they should have an interest in it. The toolchain they publish is notoriously out of date and suffers from poor documentation. Why not let the community work on it? There seems to be demand for it.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoPerhaps they could release the source for GoldSrc, considering it isn't used by any of their current games.
- aw3c2 14y agoTheir tools are bundled with very limiting terms of usage, you must only use them to develop for their games.
