Talk:Open-source video game

message: "As of September 2015, the Steam gaming service has 1,500 games available on Linux, compared to 2,323 games for Mac and 6,500 Windows games." How is this sentence relevant? Should it be removed? Trilarion (talk) 09:40, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: What has the number of games on Steam to do with Open source games?

message: Hi Hu12,
could you explain why you reverted the article Open source games back to an redirect? thx --MilesTeg 21:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No, this article isn't about open source, which already has its own article on Wikipedia but about open source games specifically, which do include open content. --Bristn 11:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course this isn't about open source in general. Where do you take the information from, that "open source games" must include "open content?!" Open source games aren't equal to free games.--77.177.174.160 12:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: why no article about open source games?

message: I've reverted this article to the last good version; something like  (which describes the Open Gaming License by Wizards of the Coast) states that the definition of an open game means that one could have proprietary content.  The source could probably pass WP:RS and be worked into this article.  Tuxide 00:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Open games do not imply open content 

message: I've flagged the article due to the biased phrasing contained therein. Specifically, the open source nature of the software was repeatedly disparaged in the article. I humbly request a rewrite
in order to rephrase the article to a neutral viewpoint. Neither commercial nor open source software should be said to be inferior or superior to the other in an encyclopedic article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Areth (talk • contribs) 05:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: i think the article is neutral enought  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.19.42.98 (talk) 21:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I agree, not neutral at all.  Open source games are no Linux-only affairs, nor are they usually superior to commercial games. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 19:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Where does it say any of that? Areth was talking about a version of the article which had some paragraphs based on an article from 1999. That’s been fixed since then, though a piece of off-topic text about web-based on-line games was still there. I think the article is neutral now — so much it’s almost boring. --AVRS (talk) 23:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the NPOV tag. I see absolutely nothing unbalanced about the article in its current form. Does anyone have a specific concern with it? Wperdue (talk) 03:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

message: *Rules of play: game design fundamentals "Digital games have always had an affinity with an open source model..."; mentions Spacewar!
*Business and Production for Games: A GameDev.Net Collection mentions Parallel Realities, Alien Trap, Vega Strike, Apricot; discusses how open source helps the gaming industry. Cites Wikipedia as a source, therefore unusable.
*Break into the game industry: how to get a job making video games - sentence which starts "The open-source community is famous for..." but the preview snippet fustratingly ends there. Marasmusine (talk) 21:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Open-source video game. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
