@snailerotica This is a reasonable thing to consider! I definitely have no problem with pirating games that have been abandoned or that are only available in some weird format or price structure. Ideally we'd have a legal structure for stuff falling into the public domain after 20 years, and it's good to keep something like an NES rom fullset available and accessible to less-technical people.
@snailerotica When I said "buy" I meant services like GOG that provide convenient downloads and tech support for old computer games. (I didn't provide this context in my post; it was a comment on a PC gaming website that provoked this.) I'm happy to pay a couple of bucks for convenient access to downloads, manuals, and technical support to keep old computer games running in Windows. And I'd love it if they did that for Amiga games too!
