MyAbandonWare is far from illegal.

These are old games that have gone through their full retail life cycle, with any profits spent, any losses now irrelevant, and the sales figures rat race long over. If they're not available for sale, you're really not harming anyone by downloading them, even if it's technically illegal. If they are available for sale, that's great, and you should buy a copy because you are supporting those (like GoG and many others) who continue to keep the games available on modern platforms, and this is a cause well worth supporting. They are the true heroes.

Abandonware is not a legal term. You are still pirating games.

Why are the fixes $30 though? When Quake 1 and 2 got full remasters which actually added more content to the games instead of taking it away, they were given for free to existing owners.

Because this is EA, not id Software.

While not illegal please don't be that stupid dumb idiot that waves the free version around in front of everyone pretty much baiting EA to sue their ass.

Abandonware is not a legal term. Yes it is technically illegal to download them from that site. Will anything ever happen to you? No probably not. They care more about people who upload content illegally then they do about people who download it.

it is legal as long as i own an original (physical) copy of the game which I do

Oh that's why they rereleased it. I still have all my TS1, TS2 and TS3 discs, I just need a decent enough disc player for installation. And a way to stop suck u rom messing with my m.2 drives.

I agree it should've come out as a bundle and with some enhancement QOL like key remapping, widescreen support and so on, hence why I ask what's the difference between the "illegal" version and the expensive version
