Surely game makers should support Abandonware?

Think about it... you work for months on a game, doing the artwork, or fiddling with the code, or tweaking the gameplay until it's perfect. Do you really want to see this game disappear, to see it become unavailable to buy, after all your hard work? After several years most games couldn't be sold, mainly due to how fast technology moves on and how player's expectations change. Why not just release it for free, rather than holding the copyright close to your chest, with no intention of ever releasing it commercially again?
I haven't read the post or the article, and I'm on a very slow connection, so could someone please explain to me what this is all about, and then I'll comment on it. Thanks.
Bah! It was a free form Haiku, the kind I used write when we didn't even have web-browsers, and had to surf the web using sticks and bits of glass... boy, that was back in the day...
Okay, this is how I go about it:
First, do a search for all.jpeg's,.jpg's,.jpe,.mp*
Then.gif (for those animated pictures of Pamela taking Tommy's mighty tool)
Then I delete all the temporary internet files, followed by a search for further cookies.
Next, clear Documents menu (cumsplat.jpg wouldn't look very good there) and empty the recycle bin.
Am I forgetting anything?
Man, I hear ya. I *hate* freedom. I mean, I'm sitting around here, day after day, at a total loss as to what to do. If I was being forced to pick coffee beans or something then at least my life would have focus:(
Wow! I myself have written an article, but this one only took 4 years. It goes as follows:
1. No jizzmops who disconnect when you're half-way-through downloading from them.
2. Disallow anyone that has 33k or less modem. In fact, it will fry their modem for trying to bog down the service. It will also call the cops.
3. People coming to their senses and realising that Metallica are actually shit.
4. Napster inc. might actually try changing the banner to an ADVERTISER's banner.
5. People will stop chatting with me over napster when I d/l an 'unusual' mp3.
6. People will love me for who I am.

Then again... maybe not.

Sorry do yo have the time? I don't have a watch... five past seven? Okay thanks... awfully chilly today isn't it? That's December for you... tsk!
That would be your psychosis, and paranoid schizophrenia, not the computer.

What has a tv show with a huge amount of tits got to do with Slashdot? This is hardly 'news for nerds'. I think rob has sold out...!

I wonder will Mozilla copy this feature?
Don't you mean 'As the BeOS user...'?
I ran this post through babelfish but it still didn't make sense. :(
Quicktime is on linux now? Why else would this be posted?
Why not make MPEG-8 instead? Aim higher folks!

Perched quietly on raging hard-ons, I'd imagine.
> It feels like this guy's had five or six beers and is trying to pick up 19-year-old chicks at a bar so he won't feel so middle-aged.
I don't know, but if you want to pick up chicks I don't think talking about music formats is the way to go about it.
> Did you ever get rid of that horrific mullet?
At his age I doubt he even has the option of a mullet.

That was extremely hilarious, so much so that I was afraid to laugh for fear of splitting my sides.
I have nothing to say except for the fact that I find this slashdot news topic immensely boring.
Cool... I'm using GPG in a vegetable shop. Works fine, the potatoes can never be secure enough, know what I mean?
