Default Amazon debate

Couple of games have been "no go", because theyre sold by Amazon. So, Id like to suggest we stop using it as a source, because the old games there arent sold by the companies who made them, therefore they are not supported by those companies.

I agree. Just because some nerd finds an un-opened copy of it, or some unnamed company is selling it for 130$(Yes 130 dollars.) that doesn't mean a game is still supported by the creator/publisher. So definetly A GO.

It's Kosta's decision.

Btw: It's not about the support or the retailer level, it's about supporting the sales and therewith the games.

It's not Kosta's decision - he didn't say a word about it yet.
Until we get a decision from him, we're playing this safe.

All of the above points have been raised in the admin forum before.
The discussion ended with one vote for, one against and one abstention.

I'm afraid this is too important a decision to let general public dictate the course of action.
The moderators are welcome to continue the discussion... in the moderator forum.
