It occurred to me that I don’t know any FOSS e-sport games off the top of my head and I don’t know why. I looked it up and it doesn’t seem like there are many tournaments around and I got to thinking about what would make a good FOSS e-sport and I don’t know that I have a really clear idea of it. It’s been on my mind a lot though so I wanted to see what you all think about it.

What FOSS e-sports do you like? What do you wish existed that doesn’t? Do you think there should be FOSS e-sports? Do you think they’ll never work, never be sustainable, or not be good? Does the concept of monetized tournaments go against the very ethos of free software?

    It’s not properly FOSS game but there a super geeky community that tries to improve the game, I talk about Star Wars Jedi Knight Academy game. Today if you need to play this game online you’ll need openJK forks like TaystJK.

    Here is a guide for playing the game.

    For owning the game, I’m sure you’ll find ways and oh I would not advise you to find base assets from true sailors website no.

    If anyone here reading this would play jka I would be glad playing too ^^
