Stealing a car is easy if you know how...Stealing the factory that makes cars is another thing altogether.

Mektek lost their rights after they decided to do a Heavy Gear game(which means that solaris and Free MW4mercs are DEAD), and ultil they speak with MS about the game rights, probbaly i think that they are fighting with IGP/piranha games about the game rights since Mektek 4 was in progressJosiah wrote:afaik only mektek has access to the source atm, as granted by the microsoft legal dept...Apollo wrote:Where can we download the MW4 source, that would be interesting to browse.

Ahhh hell, they get the rights, the code and nothing happens.
Most games end up failures.

The point, I feel, is that if you have the skills to do this stuff, why mess around with other peoples work? Making your own game has to be a lot more satisfying.

Too much of a learning curve to start from nothing.

If making your own games is too much effort, it's a wonder we have any.
(Also, it's rare for a game to start from nothing these days)

True, publishers reuse what ever they have on hand.
