Just a general question. outside of, err… freedom. what benefits for let’s say, a game developer or gamers alike from an open source game?

    I think they’re very awesome when it comes to game preservation. Or heck, how about genre preservation? For example, arena shooters. You would be hard-pressed to find an arena shooter that is actively played and maintained nowadays. I can only think of Xonotic and to a lesser extent the lazily named Warfork, both open-source games.
