+1 to the dark horses inside EA who saw this coming and open sourced some of their classics before this, so the robber barrons couldn’t gate keep them.

Man I wish they open sourced some more stuff, like their older NFS games...

But no joke, EA's open source stuff is really nice and one of the few genuinely good things about them. EASTL and related stuff is genuinely useful for game developers.

what was open sourced?

[–] Jeffool@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

They released the source code for many Command & Conquer games.
