Artheval_Pe: The Store provides the website a link, which is unique, and every time someone buys something on the store, part of the profit is given to the website if the buyer came through their link.

Fair enough.

A word of explanation: LTF Abandonware France is one of the affiliate partners of GOG.com. We have signed an agreement with the site's owners, thanks to which they present GOG.com as a place to legally get a copy of the old games and receive a percentage from the sales made via their link. That's why you can see direct links to the GOG.com game pages and a link to our main page in the "Official partners" section.
Hope this clears things out :)

Huh, well I guess it is allowed. Good way to advertise.

Interesting, I'm glad you cleared that up, thanks!
I had assumed that the grey legality of abandonware would have made any official link impossible or not advised. I'd like to see them considered more like libraries for old games that aren't available.
That does make me wonder, are you in contact with other abandonware sites? I know there are now a few "Home of the Underdogs" sites which would be interested, as well as a site I'm a member of, Abandonia.

Hmm, that's a pretty good idea GOG.

Abandonia is one of the more responsible abandonware sites, because it says you have to buy it sometimes and it links you to a place where you can buy the game, unlike some OTHER sites that just hand you the zip file and set you free.

Exactly the same with the site we're talking about.
