> I'm always wishing there were more AAA games I could play natively on aarch64 linux. Porting it might not be the easiest thing in the world, but a source leak opens the door for it.

Except a source code leak is basically the worst thing that could happen with this goal in mind.

It's a far cry from reverse engineering or a company open sourcing it. Most people aren't even going to touch it beyond the curiousity.

We don't need most people, just a handful of very dedicated volunteers. That's what happened with Thief/Thief 2/System Shock 2's Dark engine, which was patched for modern hardware after its source was leaked by an ex-employee.

I'm not hypothesizing about the behavior of others, I'm speaking only for myself.

Except for GTA.. the fan base is HUGE to the point that fans made a whole role play servers just to continue playing an obsolete game, I’m almost certain someone either anonymous or in a country isn’t subjected to US laws will pick it up and do something somehow.
