Does this concern anyone else? Something feels not right, like they might be giving up on it as a commercial product.
Going open source changes nothing, s&box is very much alive and with more developers than ever, they even have multiple job openings on their website for even more engine programmers!
Awesome!
Ofc not, they were planning this for a year now.
The monetization is almost certainly going to be based on the Roblox model of micropayments. That’s where the money is, S&box will probably be free, valve just wants to take a fee off whatever users charge each other for content
Wait so we'd have to pay for maps and game modes??? :/
The website says no micro transactions, game devs get paid for people playing the games. Don't really know how that works long term, but that's what it says right now
If they do it the way roblox does, then we'd only pay for cosmestics and items.
What do you mean by Items?
If it is anything like Roblox, then it will be heavily reliant on the type of server you are playing on. It can range from anything to the worst pay to win, grindy slop you've ever played, or it could be a non-commercial passion project with only cosmetics available. But ultimately we know nothing.
depends on the gamemode, can be p2w slop, maps, premium mode, whatever. Look up how roblox monetization works
Possibly there is intention of allowing people to export their creations as standalone binaries so they can distribute them as they see fit. It’s not GMod people need to get that out of their head it’s a Game Development Kit.
As long as it has actually effective protections for children in place, I don't particularly mind that.
I think it is (or at least would be) possible to make the games standalone
I’m pretty sure HL3 will be using Source 2. Just my guess.
