I hope that the events like this could start a bigger wave of opening the source for many other older games.

To anyone else reading, who's passionate about the topic: reach out to the companies however you can! I can share a personal experience that it does sometimes work, and thanks to that, a somewhat niche game of Zatikon is getting a second life as a FOSS project :)

Our intent with this release was to support the preservation of video games and the open source community. I hope that this release leads to more positive actions towards preserving classic video games across the industry :)
