And this is why retro games and open source games make up the bulk of my gaming experience
Please share some of your favorites!
Bro, I don't entirely disagree with this sentiment but I would argue that open source isn't always great despite how anyone feels about it. Unless you are categorizing open source with indie games. In my experience open source games are typically not great in the slightest at all. However, I agree with this sentiment if open source is being referenced to indie games. A game doesn't really have to be FOSS to be great.
The issue isn't really games like Assassin's Creed either the issue is big companies. Assassin's Creed isn't my game but I hear the newer ones are good. Assassin's Creed wouldn't need to be open source to be good.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is probably the most-sophisticated zombie survival game I'm aware of, albeit not graphically beautiful.
You can literally be a drug addict tweaking your way through the Apocalypse!
