Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months agoSure, but the abandonware version should still be archived and playable and the goal here is to make that impossible.

What makes you say that this is aiming to make that impossible? I picked up RA2 because it was cheap and I figured if I didn’t like the port (doesn’t work well, forces you to play on their application, etc) I’d just return it and so far it’s been good enough for me to use. The installation process was a lot easier than the original game and I was able to hop straight in and play. Haven’t had any issues with it yet.
So far I haven’t seen anything to suggest that this is anything but them catering to a different market that being the steam community.

There’s a reason why Nintendo keeps suing companies making emulators out of existence.

Yes I both am aware and agree that that would be acting against archives and the like. EA making these games available on Steam however is not the same as Nintendo suing emulators.
