A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.

What do you guys think about releasing them on github for free but in official stores as paid?

Part of the spirit of open source is that commercial distribution be allowed. So there's no issue with doing this.

NC licenses exist, but I don't like them

Yeah but I feel like the spirit of open source is still to allow it imo. First point on the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd
