Valve Hands Over Its Own Movie-Making Tools To Gamers

cylonlover writes "Valve has gained a reputation over the years not just for consistently putting out great games, but also for the slick trailers and promo videos that go along with them. But now the developer is turning the tables and handing over its own video-making tools to fans free of charge. With the Source Filmmaker, gamers will be able to direct, animate, and record their own videos as if they were shooting on location inside a video game."

It's Valve. Mandatory DRM and an each-purchase-is-non-refundable-and-permanently-bound-to-just-you approach to software distribution. I really could care less if you open-sourced every thing you've ever made, the damage done in the name of greed by your company overshadows any good deed you could possibly do.
