  If you make it open source then they can steal it, too.

  Why not look at it in positive light? If somebody steals it, they help you popularize the game and they show you another way to implement it.

  Of course, first mover advantage, there is some truth to your worries. Still, should you quit because you don’t find a way to implement the game, consider giving it a last chance by opening up the process.

    I meant if you give away the idea by open sourcing it, by the time you’re ready with your project the idea exists in dozens of forms already and you now look like a knock off.

    Then it’s too late for you to have much success

    First mover advantage, is this what you mean by first mover advantage?

    This is course assumes you care about popularity/success of your product, if you only care about it existing and not performing on it then yes opening it up out of the gate makes a entirely too much sense… Even for my cynical ass
