Heroes of Newerth Shutdown announced+effort to open source

[schmuck]

Heroes of Newerth, a MOBA from back in the day has announced it's shutting down in june of 2022.
As of right now i'm personally putting some effort in to rally the community to convince the games current rights holder (Garena) to open source the game under GPL.
I want to ask if Scott may please bring some attention to this under his dead game news if he can? i want to get help and signal boost it to help convince Garena.

Didn't Ross delegate dead games news to someone else?
Seems like he keeps changing his mind about this.
Well, this is from a video 2 years ago, but you can try it anyway, (he doesn't check the forums much anymore unless a mod pings him).
