I was just browsing the latest edition of PC gamer and found this interesting article on abandonware. Now, I warn you, they didn't have very much to say that was good. But they did compliment both you and the underdogs for taking the proper action when companies respond to your free downloads.

Kudos guys, you rock! k: :Brain:

What did they say about abandonia??? WHAT??? I'LL KILL'EM ALL IF THEY SAID SOMETHING WRONG!!! :evil:

Edit: a game remains copyright for 95 years????? This means that Abandonia is totally illegal or what? What about the games I already downloaded before this ESA misery? I'm a criminal? No way!!!

Say what?
[sarcasm]Of course I copy games and mp3s and I do hella lot of illegal stuff, but I thought Abandonia was legal for a change [/sarcasm]

Anyway, what is the admins opinion about this?

Criminal? Don't make me laugh!

I do much worse stuff when I'm not on Abandonia.

I've been a psychotic serial-killer for the past 20 years. Never been convicted.
