But it is, this interest in the games they made in the past assumes they have any of that code or even care about the game.
So many are just a job.
Do I care about the source for "Disney singit pop hits" nope, does the world, I doubt it.

And the reality is that of the games that have been opened sources, very very few have been touched.
Unless you already have a strong technically minded fan base.
The source code will just sit there.
No building good will, no new ports.

This isn't a "modern business" thing.
So many game devs from the past put zero effort into archiving or keeping source code around. It just wasn't important.
The game was out, time to work on the next.

Honestly game dev has a very very long history of being "hostile" to its customers.
From weird copy protections, to boosting difficulty of games so they can be finished in a weekend.
To new credit every 8 mins.
Not releasing the source isn't hostile.

The old fun of who owns the source, and legal agreements around X owns the engine and Y owns the game code.
If there is any hard line between them.
Not being able to directly reuse code from one project to the next as it was different publishers.

Just spending some time to double check that there isn't anything dodgy in the codebase takes time.
Even if they don't do any work.
It would be nice to see more games code out there, but worked on enough games and the archiving process to know it's not quick or easy.

It's not always easy to get past legal requirements.
Use a third party audio lib, the. You need permission.
Use a console SDK, well you've signed an agreement saying you won't expose it to the public.
Which all takes time and money to deal with.

Nothing quite as magical as managing to get drugged and kidnapped while flying as high as possible in a helicopter!
That takes some skill.

I'd have made the same choice.
Who am I kidding, I wouldn't have grabbed the grapes to start with!

Thanks!
The crazy thing, they are barely in the video they are commenting on.
Like visible for 5 - 10 seconds at most at the beginning.

It's one of those weird ones as it doesn't affect them at all, and yet they feel the need to fight against it.
It does not make sense when they can look as cool as those silver nails.

I like the idea, but not sure my painting skills are up to that 😁

Very much called floppy disks, this is from the manual of monkey Island that both mentions 3
5" disks and floppy disks when talking about the Amiga.

Thanks, it's so much fun editing these title screens and icons to work on a t-Shirt.
I plan on putting all the images on my website so anyone can print them up if they want.
Seeing I don't have a license to sell anything.

It's amazing how the Bass one came out and how recognizable it is with just one color.

Had the exact same idea.
One last big pile of tasty food before I go back on the diet!
