I’m looking forward to people supporting open source game development, like actually paying the wages of Dev teams to produce content for the community - we’d have some amazing games come from that
I’m sorry but this is just not true. There are a lot of “the best games” that were made by a small team down to one person. Having a lot of money to use for budget helps, but it in no way means a game will be the best.
They don’t get that money from Jesus, that’s a portion of the money people have given them to play games - people currently prefer to give money to companies who are in it for profit but if they decided instead that to give it to their favourite open source development teams to continue work on their current projects or start new ones then it would be possible.
I bet rockstar would have been making much more interesting games for example if instead of being brought by a money hungry corporation they’d ended up as a community funded project.
And yeah I know it’s not likely today but nothing we accept as normal now seemed possible fifty years ago so we’ll see.
True, not all investors are bad, just greedy people can ruin everything.

The best games have budgets of millions of dollars, so very hard to do that.
