Default Re: SE IV Source Code

Hence why it's being given away. A parallel would be Ford giving away the engine designs to the Capri. You could get them illegaly if you really wanted to and even if you did it wouldn't do you any good. So give them away and people might like you more

Compare that to Volition giving away the engine, but not the graphics, names and models, from FreeSpace 2. You can tweak and rebuild it all you like but without re-graphicing the entire game and writing a whole new campaign you couldn't sell it. Then again as FreeSpace 3 isn't going to happen, infact what was the last new space shoot em'up you heard of that was even nearly as good as FS2?
