It’s source available, not open source.

It severely limits what can legally be done by restricting modifications and prohibiting “commercial” distribution:

You may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others.

You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

Non-commercial purposes is extremely vague by the way. Depending on the country - or even the court in a country - nearly everything distributed on the internet is for commercial purposes.

For example, in Germany, only commercial websites have to put up a legal disclosure consisting of address, full name, phone number and email. Yet courts have ruled that every single website that is available to the public is “commercial” - only private webpages available to a handful of people are non-commercial. If anyone redistributed the software in Germany this license would be grounds for a successful lawsuit.

To be honest, that’s what I meant with Humble. I knew they got legitimate keys from the developers and didn’t think of the correct noun.

But since the studio was shut down by 2K, they are most likely the one’s footing the bill if a chargeback occurs. For indie games or small studios, I never use these sites for that reason.

Plus I’m still in the process of setting up my pirated games infrastructure. I will first need to figure out how to properly store Windows-only games such that the WINE prefix is in the game folder and automatically applied as well as how to make “cloud” saves work.

It’s still available on key resellers for cheap (including all DLCs) or HumbleBundle if your prefer an official key reseller (that asks for the full price though).

I grabbed it earlier today because it too was on my wishlist.

Edit: Just realized almost this exact sentence was at the top of the article. Whoops

That’s good and all…

But how do you pronounce Wokot?

Is it wuh-ko?
Maybe Woke-o?
