Comment on EA has made five of its accessibility patents free for any studio to use

Comments

This is a step in the right direction, but no game studio has yet matched the insane generosity of id Software. When they released a GPL-licensed version of the Quake 2 source code, I immediately understood that I wanted to be a developer. I grew up playing the game like sacrament, so seeing such unparalleled benevolence from the devs was highly inspiring for me.

All of it makes me fantasize about a utopia where all game logic is open, and what kind of incredible community that might spawn.
