The monetary aspect wouldn't really pan out, if it's open source and every transaction is P2P instead of through a verifiable centralized third party then it's just going to get inundated with (more) scams.

    You post two comments. One a complaint that the game I suggest isn’t fully FOSS, and another saying the business model wouldn’t work if it was FOSS. It’s almost like I suggested the closest you can get.

    My other comment was a question and apparently your answer is that you were misled and the game is not open source.

    By acknowledging the problems we face to create a solution we help better our ability to make that solution a reality.

    I never believed it was open source. I believed it was as close as you could get in a live service game with any chance of survival. The suggestions above are Fortnite and Roblox. I think we can all say s&box is a huge leap in the right direction comparatively.

    I just have an inherent distrust of sloppers, Windows exclusive developers, and people who either lie or are incompetent on the topic of actually being open source. Apparently they are still claiming to be open source from what I see, so I'll look more into if that's true or not.
