Because hacking=piracy and because both are illegal.

I don't even know what to say. So, so stupid.

Rather than pushing money into the ESA to ban abandonware, they should push money into their old IPs to re-release them so fans could actually buy the games again and play them on new hardware. I don't know what the sales figures look like, but I've certainly seen things migrate from abandonia to gog.com before.

We need to show them by increasing the 3D printing technology so we can download a car.

Maybe we could download a floppy disk. Aren't those what the cool kids are using these days?

I would also download a car.

In fact, I'd download cars like I download TV shows...only the same problem would exist. Running out of storage space.

This article made me laugh. Like, seriously? Did they just say that, by us playing games we legally purchased (assuming I read that correctly), it's our fault if the gaming industry crashes?

I swear to god....

A publisher's blind greed knows no bounds nor common sense.
