Like many of you, I love Freelancer. It's the only game that allows you to have your own personal universe with you and your friends. It's obvious that even a few new features to the game could yield great things.
I want to know what lengths some of you have gone to try and get an official word on the source code..
Has anyone sent Microsoft a real letter? Has anyone talked to the people who might be in charge of such things? Has anyone offered a small amount of money to have the game released into open domain? Obviously, rounding up all those files isn't going to be pleasant for anyone. Has anyone cited Microsoft's source code release of the space game Allegiance in appealing to have Freelancer's code released?
Unless Microsoft has a really specific reason they are not releasing the source code, it's likely that with enough pressure, or incentive, we can get them to release the code. I await all of your thoughts and ideas.
