Close-sourced: what's so bad about it?

[awakatanka]

I have to say one thing, the opensource community beats the rest in everything but game development. I haven't seen one decent opensource game that can compete with the best of the closed-source games. Also, why are all of you complaining about closed-source people being greedy? Look at yourself, you all hunger for more graphics cards, and more useless crap(which I also hunger for...). Just think when a closed-source company, which makes huge profits off its software(Adobe Photoshop for example), and what would happen if they opensourced it? A free version would come out and Adobe's competitors would copy every line of code that the Adobe programmers worked hard for! Yes, most of us can say it's better for everything to be free and opensource, but, not everything can be opensourced(since people's wages depend on it...).

Its coming also and if you search a bit there some people that try to make some opensource games. Like http://sauerbraten.org/screenshots.html
http://www.planeshift.it/
And some try to buy one and make it open source http://www.virtualcitizenship.org/
Some sites with list of games that are open source. ( much are indeed looking bad..)
