goatman455: Abandonware is LEGAL

Fairfox: lol
Here is an example of a person who laughs and mocks others while making NO ACTUAL POINTS OF THEIR OWN! (I call them "dickheads", you can call them whatever you wish)

Looking it up myself it appears there is no abandonware protection under law as I thought. It appears the companies just don't enforce it because it's not really worth it from a financial standpoint.

Wonder if I remembered that wrong or heard it somewhere way back in the day, could have sworn there was protection for old stuff to avoid IP hoarding.

There certainly SHOULD be some form of protection imo, but America's consumer protection laws favor businesses over the consumer a bit more than I would personally like for a capitalist system such as ours.

Dear all,

if you want another version of the manual, you can find the spanish version here. As I am new, I am not allowed to post pictures, but I leave them in this link.

I've sent my scanned manual (English version, like the one already attached, but a new scan I did myself a few days ago) via e-mail. Basically I uploaded on my Google Drive and sent the link to GOG.

I suppose the GOG "contact us" form could work as well.

If I'm lucky I'll find where my other English version box is hiding in my house and will be able to scan its booklets as well (they were different, still in English)

Dear goatman,

You are taking yourself, and the jackasses that we are, too seriously. Relax, you are among complete strangers that just happen to share a hobby with you.

I disagree completely, and I think you are taking my mistake too seriously, and minimizing that other asshole!

I think you are attacking the person who was defending themselves while you let the aggressor go!

That's my opinion on it, I appreciate your positive attitude (I really am not trying to be overly critical or anything) but you can't just let people like that go all the time.

Notice how he is silent while I admitted any mistake I made ethically, A BIG difference there you aren't acknowledging, and it's a shame I have to defend myself alone on this when that seems so glaringly clear here.

(comically obvious support point)

His pic is literally a character flicking you off...

Hey, check it out, the English manual is now replaced with a higher quality scan!
It is available via the game extras/goodies in place of the old one. :)

Nice! Thanks for better scans.

By the way, I have a German manual from 4CD edition uploaded to my google drive storage. It has high quality scanned pages as well.

You could let Support know, maybe they could use it.

Currently, I'm waiting for their reply regarding the Blade Runner Intro desync issue on the store page.
I should note a few things about the English manual.

The European English release has this manual, that is included with the GOG version. Its outer pages are colored, but the inner pages are black and white, and most of the background images are particularly low-res. It also has the "EPSER" misspelling :D

In comparison the German release has a similar manual but all of its pages are colored, the background images are of better resolution and "ESPER" is spelled correctly.

However, there was at least another English boxed release (the US release, and also the East Asia Only release) that had another variation of the manual (same content iirc, but different layout), as well as another smaller "Behind the scenes" booklet. I own this box too, but it seems to have been lost somewhere in old storage. If I find them, I'll scan those as well and share with GOG.

Of course, if anyone has those ones handy, they're welcome to scan them instead :) Who knows when or if I'll find mine.

I have a question about sending the manual to GOG staff via e-mail. I sent you an invite for chatting.
I have aksed also the customer support to upload the Spanish version of the manual (I have sent to them an improved pdf version). I will tell you if I receive any answer.
