Given how often gamedevs lose source code, you would think they would be more open to release it to the public...

The only argument I've heard is it would make it easier to develop cheats, but The obvious solution to that is to not opensource the anti cheat

>>713865314 (OP)
Nah.
Nintendo haven't been #1 since the 1800s by giving their shit away for free.

1. Releasing source code ≠ Releasing the assets under a free license.
2. There are way better ways to pirate the vast majority of games than compiling source code.

Japs are retards when it comes to actually preserving their games

>>713865314 (OP)
It's only japanese devs who do this shit. Square especially is infamous for their retardation.

These are ultra ruthless corporate japs, they don't lose shit.

It's gonna be really disappointing when I get to him in the remake and he can't be stolen from, since I assume they'll go back to how the original version did it.

I killed elmdors zodiac form with the masamune for fun even though it was weak

>>713869519
it's already stated you can't steal from elmdor in the demake

>>713869519

>yell!

>>713869601
Is it? I assumed as much but figured there wouldn't be an answer yet because that's a rather specific question to even ask.

>>713869785

Decomps/recomps will save retro games, at least the ones that matter. Not the same as having the actual source code, but it's the next best thing.

bequith your pigs

>>713866691
bruh, the biggest source code leaks ever were from Nintendo and Game Freak.

>Have classic and enhanced mode
>Didn’t use triangle strategy’s artstyle for the enhance mode
>They made the game in 9 months in the 90s with a smaller team and without any blueprints
>This was leaked in 2021
What the fuck were they doing for the past 4-5 years?
