Reviews for The Open Bundle

See, I'm a huge fan of everything here.

Here's my fear, though: The Source Code.

The game industry right now is struggling since we're being pushed down by all these identical puzzle games. I could load up WCK right now, draw some funny shapes, put a goal in the center of a bunch of blocks and boom: Puzzle game. Ready for release.

That's a problem.

Now I love your idea of releasing everything, but you might want to put the Source Code under some sort of disclaimer, which would ruin the point but might prevent people from simply copy + pasting into their own game without actually learning how to code their own stuff.

Otherwise, I am a huge supporter of what you guys are doing. In fact, I love it :D

This is great, and I fully support your efforts. When our country was founded, the original copyright period was for 28 years. This was only to give the artist a period in which to sell their materials before the public domain beat them to it, which they should have a right to. It's amazing to see how many people misinterpret this message, but that's what you get these days on the internet. Society grows best when we work together, and fails fastest when we give in to greed and horde our ideas for ourselves. I give those who disagree the example of Linux, a completely open-sourced program, non-profit, that now runs 1 in 4 web-servers. Countless studies show that people work more efficiently when they are doing something they truly believe in for the public good, and not something they are doing for themselves to make profit.

Let's say goodbye to corporate greed and start believing in the power of the public.

So this is one of those fund-raising things huh? I would support this if I could since I'm someday going to be a game programmer or animator someday, but unfortunately I can't. These guys are great artists though :3

Seems like a good idea, but... won't people just steal your work and make tons of money off of it? I mean, it's cool with me, I just want them to give you credit. Or at least SOMe credit.
