My friend and I were discussing this over the weekend. Games are inherently different than movies, books, and music. They’re tied to specific hardware and operating systems that may not be available anymore.
I argue that if a game is no longer legally purchasable from the publishers or developer, it should be legally permitted to pirate it. Even EA agrees! They do not pursue copyright claims against LOTR games, as they lost the publishing license from New Line Cinemas years ago.
I’ve got a rip of 4A if you want it. Might even have my old copy for 360 around here somewhere if you’d prefer that.
That’s very kind of you. I prefer physical CDs that I can redump if anything gets messed up. Haven’t seen what I need to dump 360 games but I can give it a go.
