Imagine instead of the complete brutal removal from stores and shutdown that Epic Games are doing with Unreal Tournament, if Tim Sweeney fully open sourced the original. Imagine the fun people could have with such gaming history.

@gamingonlinux as usual, "capitalism is why we can't have nice things"

@gamingonlinux They could even just drop the code as is, without any support or cleanup, and people wouldn’t care, and still use it. It would cost them 0 and would gain them tons of good will. It’s insane how formatted these people must be to not even see that solution…

I'd say it would be basically useless without the trademark. If open source gaming has one thing, it's damn high quality UT alternatives.

@gamingonlinux Even if they don’t open source the server making a downloadable version of it already helps a lot.

If there is interest the community can reverse engineer it at some point and then new development can happen.
