Many games on this list don't really belong here, like Gothic3 or Unreal. "Making the Source available to someone from the Community (most probably under NDA)" is not "releasing source code".

I agree, then there's Dark Reign 2 with obviously stolen source code being referred to as "Open source" and it's wiki's page linking directly to the dame repo! Dark_reign_2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumblebritches57 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dark reign was released under a open source license, which is fact. It is unclear if the developer(?) who did that had the right for doing so (and made just an mistake with the bink headers etc). So, DR2 is released as open source, legal status unclear. Shaddim (talk) 08:58, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Falcon 4.0

The Falcon 4.0 flight simulator has been added to this page, but its source code has never been officially released by the legal owner. Instead, the code was leaked to the public in early 2000, and the source code of one of the community branch that originated from this leak was released on Github under free license (BSD), despite not having any contact with the legal owner of the code. Shouldn't Falcon 4.0 be removed from this page as its "public" code is simply illegal? Spyhawk (talk) 18:14, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

renamed according to our discussion Shaddim (talk) 16:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Half-life 1

Valve put the source code for half-life one (or at least the engine) on their github. --82.30.222.194 (talk) 12:01, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, how complete is the source code? (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife) As far as I understand it is only the SDK. on reddit it was claimed that the engine is missing (http://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/comments/26dlo4/was_reading_through_the_original_halflifes_source/chq0qsu) and the original id software Quake source code (https://github.com/id-Software/Quake) is not the modified GoldSrc. 16:29, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

CryEngine first release is 1989?

Just why? The first release seems to be around 2004, but I can't find exact sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:110F:EB9:9E00:5062:6365:3ADC:3062 (talk) 19:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
