Love the concept; are they open source? Would love to get gaming further away from the big companies. If it’s “free” now, how are users paying for it, with data? Ads? We’ve seen a well documented history of enshittification so before I dump time into a platform that’s my 1a question.
In general, no the site is not open source. There are however some games whose implementation is public under various licenses. A few examples:
