don't forget that most of them are still sold so..=/

hey but i remember that lucas had "infinity" protection to their games. does that somehow relate to the lucas arts company itself, or it's just broken since they left esa? what was the deal?

ebay is auction. there are still officially original-for-sale bought copies. still in packages sold on amazon, cdaccess and other places.

yeah when there is no "NEW" then it's second hand, therefore not sold

by the way do not double post please

What we need now is a single "Company's that Left ESA" thread note all company's (with discussion)
and wonder why ESA is slowly bleeding dry... :wondering:

Is ESA not doing it's job properly or what.?

Quoting me at Request forum:
Abandonia had serious problems with Lucas Arts, they directly told us to not offer their games for download...not sure if we can allow the download now.
They are no more ESA protected but this doesn't mean that their games aren't protected anymore.

I mean, some companies aren't ESA members but their games are still protected after years.
Are we sure? We should pay attention this time
