Open sourcing other games - GrixM - 05-12-2014

Kudos to FG for providing the source for Penumbra Overture. I was just wondering if there are any plans on releasing the source for other games as well, like the rest of the Penumbra series, or maybe even the first Amnesia game. I don't really see why not, I'm sure if there are any effect on sales it will be negligible, from what I hear these old games can be a little tricky to get working and compile, I doubt anyone would go through the trouble of that instead of just buying the game for $10 or whatever they cost nowadays.

Was refering to this. Russia is one of the biggest countries for games piracy.
