    I really wish games would just become free to download after it’s abandoned. You don’t see many movies or CDs that just disappear. But games do. A lot come back, but a lot of them just don’t ever get re-released.

    There are a few PS1 games that I would happily purchase on my PS5. But if it’s not available, then I should be able to legally and conveniently emulate on my phone or computer.

      I think legally you can download such software as it becomes abandonware. It is a grey area but there’s also legal precedence set.
