I did try to go to ABR and blend in just like I did with AB... But I had to face up the fact that freeware simply, 98% of the time, consists of bad quality and poorly done games.
Yeah, sure... Those games are free. But that's not the kind of games I wanted to play and have people be reminded of "the good old days". There are some rare gems on ABR but overall at least 9 out of 10 games are not even worth looking at. Clones of originals, games which are plain bad, etc.
Some people like it, others don't. I never questioned the reason why AB and ABR splitted: it has always been very obvious to me.

Actually there are quite a few great freeware titles, it's rather the poor selection of games on Reloaded that makes them an inferior collection. C'mon, Beneath the Steel Sky? A lot of things happened since that, games like
Black Mesa were released among dozens of titles.
They still could be a great site dedicated to collecting links to all the worthwhile freewares on Steam, GoG, and other sites.
So far they only excelled in writing fanfiction roleplay stories.
(I also took the liberty to correct the grammar in your post, if you don't mind. Yeah, I'm a sworn grammarionalspellcheckialist. Sorry.)
