StingingVelvet: I don't know about EVER, but yea, pretty much.
Download the game somewhere... no one is allowing you to buy it new, those massively inflated ebay prices don't give one dime to the creators or investors. Just download it, there is no moral issue there.
Aliasalpha: Download it with an OATH that if it ever becomes available for legal download, even if its on the dreaded steam, you buy it the second it appears with absolutely no excuses for weaseling out. THEN there's no moral issue
Yes, of course... goes without saying.
I had all the old Scumm Lucasarts games through "pirated" copies, but as soon as they released some of them on Steam I bought them all. When they release more, I will buy those.
As much as I am against piracy and downloading games, there are many, many classics almost unobtainable in any reasonable way, and Planescape is certainly among them. I fear the day games are all account-based and downloaded and the loss of a title due to company collapse or something means it is forever unplayable.
Like a closed MMO... Matrix Online, Tabula Rasa... those games can NEVER be played again, in any way... that freaks me out, even though I don't care about those two specifcally.
