      This is a genuine exception. Surprisingly low bullshit for anything gaming related (i suppose being industry oriented helps a little), and fairly interesting stuff covered. This article is a good one, imo.

      Despite the title it’s (as should be expected from being with one foot in the industry) not a how to guide to get the latest fitgirl repack or whatever, but an article about who gets targeted for piracy and who doesn’t even while massively profiting (Amazon, for one).

      It’s actually quite a good website I’ve posted many times. It’s just the title and the topic make it look shady. The content really isn’t.

      Technically https://www.myabandonware.com/ should be legal, most games there you can’t get anywhere else so even if you wanted to give money to the people who made them you couldn’t. E.g. I found that website trying to buy The Sims 1, I used to have the cds a long time ago, but I thought it would be easier to just buy it again from GoG or something, but it’s not available to buy anywhere so it’s a hard for a company to claim you’re harming their sells if they’re not selling the product.
