Poznati proizvođač igara Valve odlučio je SDK (Software Development Kit) svog poznatog enginea Source ponuditi svima besplatno. Source engine datira iz 2004. godine kada je izdana prva igra temeljena na njemu - Counter Strike: Source te nedugo nakon toga naslov koji je u to doba obilježio scenu, pucačina iz prvog lica, svima nam znani Half Life 2. Danas, sedam godina nakon toga, svi ćemo imati prilike poigrati se ovim tehnološkim remek djelom potpuno besplatno i tko zna, možda rezultat ove Valveove inicijative bude neka nova hit igra porijeklom iz Lijepe Naše.
Zadnjih par dana pristižu samo dobre vijesti iz Valvea, prisjetimo se kako je njihov multiplayer hit Team Fortress 2 postao također besplatan za sve preko njihove platforme za digitalnu distribuciju igara Steam. Klik za detalje.
Izjava iz Valve-a:
"The Source Software Development Kit, for those of you who've never clicked the Tools tab in Steam, contains everything you'd need to make a mod, except for personal ambition. It has everything from the infamous Valve Hammer Editor to Face Posers and Model Viewers. At the moment, to gain access to the Source SDK you have to purchase a Source based game such as Half Life 2, or as the official website states, Team Fortress 2. Which is of course now free. [Valve's Robin Walker said], 'We are in the process of getting it all done. It’s a bit messy because we have multiple versions of the SDK, and there’s some dependencies we need to shake out. But yes, the gist of it is that we’re just going to go ahead and make the Source SDK freely available.'"
