Orbit: EA's first open source project

I just surprised myself with how low my opinion of EA is. My first instinct was that EA would never be so benevolent as to do anything open-source or give anything back to the community and therefore this had to be an April Fool's joke.

I see some commits on the github are from 5 days ago, though, so now I'm not so sure.

Same here, hopefully they won't bill me because I look at their github page

You can mess with it on GitHub, but the actual code is DRM'd so that you can only open it in U-Code, and there is no offline single-player; you have to have an Internet connection to run it under the debugger.

Agreed. Presumably there's a shortcut pack to become a contributor. For a small fee.

I've been looking at it for a couple minutes now, and I'm still not sure if it's an April Fools joke

I can assure you it isn't an April Fools joke :)
