Origin has been a dead company for years, this site only put that restriction on it recently. (relatively) So what makes people getting it from friends any different, especially if they downloaded it? You people make me sad.*

I think you're missing the point here. It's completely irrelevant whether or not Origin went out of business ages ago. It was bought by Electronic Arts, and EA is an ESA member, so you're not allowed to host their games without ESA's permission. Abandonia had that permission until a couple of months ago, when ESA decided to withdraw it. If "people" get the game from "friends", that's none of Abandonia's business, really, as long as they don't do it here. But it would be illegal to put up the games for download without permission. So yes, I'm afraid you were just too late.
