Blame retailers, they won't carry AO games. They could carry them, if they wanted - but they don't. Since most retailers are national here in USA - yeah, they don't want that heat.

Back in the day, local gaming stores which were not chains here might've sold these kind of games - often behind the counter. RIP to many of those stores, BTW.

Other digital places sometimes sell AO versions, such as Direct2Drive, who sold Singles and Manhunt 2.
GOG even carries Fahrenheit as AO, even though basically that same version got a Remaster on Steam and that Remaster re-rated to M on Steam.
^ Banned b/c you're trying to ban whether you're certain on something or not.

Banned for questioning my right to ban at will.

Banned so you have some time to think about the mistakes you made in your life.

Band because I never make mistakes, especially now :)

Banned for either the misspellings and/or typos here, no matter whether it was done purposely or not to make a joke, point, and/or whatever else.

^ banned because it's a complete MysterY why you are now a toaster... hey, where are my Pop Tarts?!

Banned for doing the robot equivalent of demanding a woman make you a sandwich.

^ banned for asking why I became a Toaster.

I've been called that (Toaster) for years on other online forums. And that was even before I realized it was a not-so-nice term for a weak computer/machine, when I've been known to usually go mid-range or a little above it (i.e. see, I have a desktop RTX 3070 and another desktop I built had a GTX 970 "4gb" VRAM GPU).

So, for years...that Toaster nickname's just stuck.

^ banned for making some toast instead of proposing a toast

Banned for roasting the toast.

^ banned for boasting about the roast you were toasting

Banned because all toasters toast toast.

^ banned, because I have never seen one raise a glass to your health

Banned because they're afraid of jinxing it.
