Activision Releases Call to Power 2 Source

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday October 28, 2003 @03:48PM from the power-up-for-free dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After some lobbying from Internet fans, Activision has released the source code for its Civilization-related PC strategy sequel "Call to Power 2". Fan-site Apolyton have announced this today, and the 8mb source code can be downloaded here . The readme notes that they could not distribute the Miles Sound library with the code, and that you need to have bought a copy of the game to use its data directory - there's plenty of discussion over at the CtP2 open source forums."

You are disappointed? This would indicate you had expectations. What would these expectations be based on? That all game source gets released? That's not true. That you had been promised unrestricted access to this proprietary work? That can't possibly be true. That you were owed something? What were you owed, and for what?

Don't release the source, people bitch. Release the source, people still bitch. Why bother?
