Good license. If you want to mod the game, your code will need to be open source (in theory), so there could end up being open source modding communities around them.
Whilst I’m pretty excited about this in general, it’s got me even more excited that a positive reception of this might spur EA on to actually do some more good, and release the sources for games from other defunct studios they’re doing nothing with like Bullfrog
I’d love for the community to give games like theme hospital, dungeon keeper and populous a lick of paint
Maybe some of the old weirder maxis games too, like SimAnt & SimCopter
I am personally hoping that they release the Simcity 2000 or Simcity 3000 source.
Ooooh it would be fun to do SimCity 2000 again…
This will be absolutely amazing for potential source ports.
Yeah, boiiii!
Looking forward to a source port for Renegade. That game deserved so much better than it got.
