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?

    Cheating only starts to become a problem when you add competitive aspects to a game, like a global leaderboard or esports tournaments. And the competition is greatest when everyone is on the same leaderboard.

    Competitive aspects can be fun to some people, but yeah, I don’t see it as that big of a deal when open-source games can’t do that as well as proprietary titles.
