> Compared to traditional game development where usually you have access to all the source it is a big pain (for me at least).

Which commercial engines do offer full source code access?




All of them? It's unheard of at a AAA development level to sell an engine without full source access; CryENGINE, Unreal, iD Tech, and Gamebryo all offer full source licenses, to name a few examples.


Thanks for the info.


Any 3rd party engine used by a AAA game will have full source. Unreal Engine, Crytek, Source, etc. Sometimes those engines have cheap, no-source indie targeted licenses but the high end games paying the high price tag has source.
