I was just looking at the FAQ of the site for Pentagram, a program much like Exult, only for Ultima 8. I was a bit concerned when I came across this -

"2.9. But isn't Ultima 8 abandonware? No, if an entity still exists to claim the rights over a piece of software (EA in the case of Ultima 8), and the company has not openly given away those rights to make the software free, then the software does not fall under the term abandonware or freeware.

Any copies of Ultima 8 you find on the Internet that claim to be abandoned or free are neither, and downloading them will be considered piracy."





I figured since they're big U8 fans, they're quite likely to know. Are they right?

Thank you for informing us about this. I will look into this and put a game on hold for downloading for the time being... better safe then sorry
