JFL writes " A petition to request that the Total Annihilation source code's current owner, Infogrames, release the code into the public domain is currently in full swing over at the French site TA Forever. " I recently picked up TA again, and played around with it - while the graphics are looking a bit dated, the design for the system is great - a very extensible design system, and one that you could build some interesting environments on top of. The use of height is something that was, and to a certain extent, still far ahead of other RTS^? games.

Why not demand all games 2+ years old be opened? by Win-Developer · 2002-01-12 04:22 · Score: 2, Troll

I don't get why people want this specific game released?

If you're going to make such a fuss over this game, why not sign petitions to get Unreal Tournament's source released? It's just as old as this game.

Why doesn't anyone make a fuss for the laundry list of games that no one generates profit from anymore?

In case you're wondering, you can still buy this game in the stores, so it's still generating profit for the company(albiet marginal profit).
