Question About Selling Open-Source Games

[Deleted member 111282]

A while back, I was in the process of selling physical releases of games like 0 AD, but then I put it off because I got busy with working my day job. While I'm still interested in doing that, completing odd jobs for people, and getting other gigs set up, I'm wondering if I really need an LLC just to sell the games? I'm just planning to sell them to friends, coworkers, and through the classifieds

No, you don't. Whether or not you should depends on your level of exposed assets and the degree of risk you are willing to take.

Do I need an LLC to start a business?

You don't need an LLC to start a business, but, for many businesses the benefits of an LLC far outweigh the cost and hassle of setting one up.
