Why HN links it
Frictional Games' developer blog. Its one comment points to Wolfire's source-code links for a prototype in a Humble bundle and does not judge this blog's writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Unspeakable thoughts on horror, design and game development.

What Hacker News says?
None of the Humble Bundles actually include the source code with the purchase. Sometimes the publisher has released the code of the games included in the bundle on their own outside of the actions of the Humble Bundle. The reason that Jack Claw in this bundle was open sourced is because it is a prototype. You can find sourcecode for games included in other versions linked from Wolfire's blog: http://blog.wolfire.com…
