At this point, it should be open sourced officially. Look at all the good that came from ID open sourcing the doom and quake source code.
It's not like Far Cry is a particularly advanced engine with tonnes of secret sauce by today's standards.
Hey can I ask you more about what was the good that happened? I donโt know about it but seems interesting!
Half-life was based off a modified Quake engine. So ya, it sorta helped create Valve and Steam.
It was open sourced the year after Half-Life's release though, so Valve got it from id long prior to that.
