I'd rather it stay underground than become some trendy, overpriced P.O.S.
I agree completely with you, the reason soldat is popular because it is free, mods are free, maps are free, to play oline is free, and it is great fun and mm doesnt care if you make some crazy soldat stuff...with a company it would be much harser, flieslikeabrick would almost certainly lose his administrator position, and i would seriously hate to see that happen. soldat has so much beyond just playing in a pub once or twice a day, the possibilities for what you can make for it are almost endless. Yet i would love to see the game client go open source still, i would like to keep the server closed source with enesce for the time being, because for a while there would be a shitload of hackers till programmers fixed all the holes which i am sure are many.
