    As much as there’s an Activision fuckup here, there’s also a Hasbro fuckup. When you do a deal like this with a publisher, part of that agreement should include provisions for the source code - either directly sending it or if Activision didn’t want to share its proprietary code, indirectly via an Escrow service.
