Yeah, I’m willing to assume the best for W4 at this time. The whole console SDK scene is a legal mess, and keeping the Open Source parts away from it, while making enough dangling hooks to be able to jump in later, sounds ideal.
I think the real test of their resolve would come if they tried to use the foundation to shut down or sabotage a competitor that was in the same “port to console” space. That would be a no no for me, but so long as that doesn’t happen I feel like they’ve got a good balance going.
