The source code being available doesn’t allow you to play the game. To actually play it, you’d still have to buy the game. Unless you figure out how to play it without any artwork.
Still bet someone will create a new set of assets that fit like a glove for preservation purposes. But kinda sucks that it’s not quite as useful as I was naïvely thinking.
Huh, yeah. Usually when the source is released it includes the assets too, but this does not. I don’t know how useful it is for “education” then. You can’t tinker with it and see how it effects things, so it’s harder to really understand why things work the way they work.

It’s going to allow modders complete access to go full ham on the game, though. It opens up a ton of things that can be played around with.

Usually, when? Also, it’s for modders.
