Freelancer Source Code
-
them not wanting to sell rights to use the source is not exactly true.
i approached them a few years ago about licensing the source for freelancer in order to create a sequel. I had the financial backing and everything else in place. they were quite eager to sign a deal, i even talked with MS Game Studios about it and they were eager.
the problem is they could not find it. In other words, they (at the time, basically lost the source code for the game).
it took nearly 8 months of back and forth with them to finally give up the ghost on looking for it.

They lost the source code? It was not long ago I was reading about how supposedly impressive their temperature controlled source code storage facilities were. It was an interview on bit-tech if memory serves me, have to try and find it again. They’re supposed to have kept everything they’ve ever done. Perhaps it’s a nice room with nothing in it
