Golden Armor is My Fav
Habitica creator here, randomly popping in. The Warrior set is the OG - it comes from Mozilla's BrowserQuest. When I started the Kickstarter, I had a bright-idea for programming and no art talent. I asked that team personally if I could use their assets, which are Creative Commons (their codebase open source). The project was to showcase the capabilities of JavaScript for game dev (this was around the death of Flash, think RuneScape). They said yes, generous as that foundation is.

Can you give an example of well-designed C++ code, and explain why you think it is so?
Yeah, just look at this beauty! https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/blob/master/desktop_version/src/Game.cpp

Is making a game supposed to be this messy?
Finally, games are really that complex. Check out for example Terry Cavanagh's blog post on releasing the source code for VVVVVV, and check out the source for Game.cpp (although keep in mind this was ported from ActionScript).

Nothing but the truth here..
So it seems to be an unofficial policy rather than a written rule, if those allegations are true (remember that those are Wolfire's claims of what Valve said). Certainly there doesn't seem to be consistent enforcement - for instance Tales of Maj'Eyal is free, but $7 on Steam. Apparently there are some minor differences - does that mean that they can claim that it's a "separate version" and hence doesn't need price parity, even though 99.9% of the game is identical? There's also VVVVVV, which is open source (albeit years after initial commercial release) where you can freely build the exact same copy as on Steam ($5), including steamworks support. Does that count as a "separate version" when you just have to compile code? Admittedly these are two indie games, albeit extremely well-known ones, but then - isn't Wolfire Games also an indie studio?

Seems Steam Deck verification is using Proton instead of native builds in some instances
I think it's worth noting VVVVVV has actually been open-sourced https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV
