Despite the impressive list of achievements of open source software, it can be argued that there have not been any world-class games created under the open source banner. Sure, several old games like Doom and Quake have been gifted to the open source community, but there are no comparable original creations in this area. One should not expect this situation to change anytime soon, because the open source development model does not make sense for game development.

>BTW, if you haven't been in any of the sides you shouldn't say anything at all
While myself I haven't worked on a game studio, I had many friends in UK that did, and I also used to report only for gaming back in 1999, so I am not a newbie in that industry at all.
