The absolute state of corporate greed. All I wanted was to play 1995-1999 games from my childhood. Not being epic gamer I believed that they were a free software by now but they are charging 15$ for a game from 1999 on steam. Other similar games from 1994-1999 still hold up a decent price today.
It's amazing how kikey these people are. Companies like Blizzard too with their Diablo I and II. filthy kikes
>>1275 Do not blame the people. Blame (and circumvent) the system. Do not listen to moralfags. Morals are merely another control mechanism of the system.
>>1276 I pirated of course

I am not moralfagging. I am more shocked that such business models even work. Somewhere a soyboy must be grinning while purchasing a 15$ retro game
You are not supposed to buy decades old videogames. 1) money, most likely, don't go to the people who created it (most of them were probably wageslaves anyway) 2) it's two decades old; charging money/not releasing source few years after last update/patch is blasphemy and people who pay 20 bucks 20 years after release to rightsholder or whoever is milking it are blasphemies.
>>1277 Pirating is moral.
>>1277 >Morals are merely another control mechanism of the system.
'Sup normalfag.
Morals are the collection of ideal behaviors that we all stand to benefit if we follow.
Pirating is perfectly moral. In reality, supporting these practices through "legitimate" means is what is immoral.
>>1282 >>1284 Wouldn't be against a FLOSS game like minetest over i2p.
Install some autistic engineering mods and we good.
It can be done, but the players will have to configure firewall rules and a transparent proxy daemon to make the game resolve i2p addresses.
Games are still subject to copyright, that's where it stems from partially. If the reform ever comes, things might improve. Until then, the chances of you being sued over an old game are slim (unless it's Nintendo). Just invest in a good, beefy hard drive to archive the terabytes of vidya dumps from torrents.
You also have to remember that a lot of these games were made in a conveyor belt fashion. Pump it out, fix a couple of bugs and forget about it. With how many studios have also been dissolved or broken apart, what are the chances that those games even have source code anywhere?
>Blizzard
Blame the fans, their stupid devotion to consuming product is similar to Valve drones.
>>1286 >were
they still are. pump it out. let some devs fix bugs in new patches, add muh dlc, and forget about it.
the only difference is now you can't officially play the game once the dev drops it, because the game cant be run without downloading half its missing crap from a server each time it starts up, etc.
