A better ending for SS2?
EA and Edios GPL their source codes.

Don't say that kind of stuff. It just makes me depressed :(

About source codes: Wouldn't it be possible for a tech-savvy user to extract them from the game files? This is my inner noob speaking so don't hurt me if I sound dumb.

Nah, the source code isn't in the game files. Only the compiled code is in the game files. Commercial software developers usually don't include the source code with their programs.
EDIT: but if you mean decompiling the compiled code, I guess that's technically possible, but the decompiled code would be so incredibly hard to decipher that no one's going to bother with it. I mean, no code comments, no function and variable names, etc. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong though.

Half-wrong. Shock2 doesn't come with any help, but ShockEd was compiled in debug mode, so it has a lot of function and variable headers - like half of them, at least. So, it would be really possible - if someone wasted a few years on it, because there is an awful huge pile of stuff to reverse engineer.
So yep, it'd be really possible. But I doubt anyone would be crazy enough to do it.
