Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Patina Source offers game studios payments to license finished, cancelled, or unreleased games’ source code as AI training data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.

For: Game studios with archived source code and clear licensing rights
Worth noticing: The site says code is licensed for AI training, not published or resold as a game; payout ranges are indicative, not offers.

Field notes

The intake process begins with information about an engine, titles, and development history rather than a code upload. The site says technical materials come only after an NDA, and offers may cover an archive, a single title, or an engine alone. Its listed payout bands depend on factors including codebase size, development history, uniqueness, and rights clarity; the figures are expressly indicative.
