Within games, however, abandonware is typically the realm of very old games that publishers have naturally stopped caring about, or even games from publishers that flat-out no longer exist.
Bluntly, if a game is delisted, publishers should embrace the fact it will become Abandonware.
I’m here to argue one simple thing: game publishers should be allowed to do what they want… with conditions.
But unofficially embracing Abandonware as a way to preserve games is a first step, I think.
