Time for Open Source Gaming?

A Screen Shot from an Open Source Game under Development at RIT

In a new article in Wired News, Daniel Terdiman takes up the possibility that current game development might eventually be replaced by open source wiki style projects. Of course, as evidenced by our State of Play talk, we agree! He talks to Hugh Perkins (aka Azelda Garcia, formerly of the SimCast project, but still the driving force behind the Open Source Metaverse Project) and also with Andy Phelps of the MUPPETS project at RIT. This article is also notable for the speculation that Peter Ludlow's banning from TSO was "highest-profile player ban in the history of video games." Wooot!

[update: see discussion on Terra Nova and on Variety.com].
