    Project mention: Why isn't There a open-source (project) game? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-23

    There are many open-source games. There are few large-scale high-polish open source games because it's difficult to build a business model around that. Unlike non-game software, games are ~exclusively consumer-facing, so you can't sell support or use them as a loss leader, and they're standalone applications that are difficult to monetize with online features or to use as the core of a closed-source commercial product.

    That said, there are still lots of great projects out there (some of which have even had commercial success), for example:

    - https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX
