Hi there, I'm posting here because it's more underground compared to Reddit (since I think that the dev wouldn't like it to get mainstream attention).

There is an open-source WC3 engine called Warsmash (made using LibGDX): https://github.com/Retera/WarsmashModEngine

( Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/ucjftZ7x7H )

I thought I might share it here, if anyone is interested in participating in its development. There isn't a Flatpak version yet and it also misses some features e.g.

So that's why he posted the entire source code on that underground website GitHub operated by Microsoft, future owner of Warcraft 3.

Don't think m$ gonna pay much attention, the aio script to activate windows is also hosted on github

To be fair, Microsoft is generally not as bad with this kind of stuff as most big publishers

Microsoft is generally not as bad with this kind of stuff anymore

FTFY. 90s Microsoft would've sent some thugs

There was even a movie made about that. It's kinda bad but entertaining, Tim Robbins as the Gates/Jobs amalgamation is the saving grace, it's worth watching for his performance alone.

The movie is called Antitrust if anyone is wondering. It's a serviceable thriller and Tim Robbins is realy the best thing about it.

It's one of thise movies thats definitely worth a watch if you catch it somewhere.
