If that was true pre-orders wouldn’t be a thing, especially after so many half baked releases. And the prices for new releases would not have gone up so much in the last few years.
By and large gamers are not a patience kind. They want the new thing not the old thing.
Someone please explain to me why a game after selling millions of copies shouldn’t be open sourced
Because it will create expectation on the side of players that the game will become free in a while, driving down sales.
The open sourcing period should be at least long enough to justify purchase, probably a decade after the release.
Sales reasons… gotta make more millions to stuck up
Absolutely. But that’s what drives game development and everything under capitalism
