I prefer open source be it science or software. However I see at least one
exception, some games.
Let's say you have created a unique story etc for a game, then you perhaps
don't want people to look at spoilers from the source or you don't want
people to focus on derivations of your story. And maybe some research
software needs to be closed until the study results are published. Example
in electronically implemented psychological studies to establish proper
controls, ensure blinding or prevent biases.
