@Suiseiseki @teto @animepfp with companies like Epic Games endorsing treating legacy works like at least closer to creative commons (not going after archivists) there could be a way to nudge cultural monopolists in gaming further by lobbying for lower years of legally binding copywrong restrictions. If that was politically successful there would be a way to use legacy game engine decompilations without fears of law retaliation.
All work that was done before that point would be groundwork that could finally unleash it's freedom potential.
