DeadBugs writes "According to Blue's News: 'The public source code for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is now available from id Software, Activision, and Splash Damage (the developer working on Doom 3's multiplayer content), offering modification authors the resources to create mods for the free multiplayer shooter.' First they release a free game, and now free source code for it - there are download links at Splash Damage's files section."

  1. I don't get it by sirmikester · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While I'm all for releasing a game and its source for free, I don't see how a professional game studio can exist without selling anything. Maybe they are trying to prove themselves as a legitimate development house so that they can get paid projects later. Interesting strategy if that's the case, sort of like professional mod makers.
