It looks like third time's a charm. I for one think it's a feature to have stories competing for the reader's attention and just take their time to bubble up to the front page.

And this is quite an interesting story. Since the Sierra games' source code was never publicly released, it makes me think how radical id were to open source their games at the time, in the 90's.

Might depend on what time of day they are posted?

I was wondering the same thing. I was the first post, then saw the second one. I was quite surprised to see this third one really take off like this. Yeah, perhaps it does depend on the time of day? - A big thank you to smcameron for reposting.
