The fact that you're calling it "open source" is already evidence that globohomo obstructed the bigger picture.

Many games give you the source but require assets that you'd have had to purchase but can probably pirate easily. Those are Open Source, the definition of which also covers Free software.
I for one am happy to have bought Myth II, it works on all my computers to this day lol.

open source is actually feudalism.
A person or a group owns it, and serfs write code which is then approved of.
Except within this analogy, nobody gets paid.

Open Source is an OK arrangement even if it's not Free. Espeically for old games for dead platforms. At least they are giving you a means to keep playing a beloved game even if they aren't giving you a license to the assets. For a lot of old games it might not even be possible to release the assets.
Free games from the old days mostly seem unpozzed too. Never seen any tranny shit in a Free game except for CDDA where there are trannies. But you can ignore or even murder them no problem if you want. Or mod them out.

Due to how ownership works, we can't just reasonably prevent the process of someone owning something and letting others do things with his property in accordance with his permission, even if the owner is a corporate body.
However it is a very justified and important point that whenever the thing we're talking about is not just simply open source but specifically free software, we don't forego the distinction.

Does anyone remember the game I played on WinXP where you’re playing a gay going through layers of hell and there’s drugs like PCP that boost health or speed? It was a side scroller but you were moving from top to bottom
