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.

Let's face the fact: Siberia is NOT very complicated in the term of engine. Nothing very hard to create by some gifted OSS developers.
But find me second Benoit Sokal, who would spend all his talent to enrich this engine. As for now there is no "Free Art/Open Art", at least among THE artists.
