Meh. I'm not sure I agree with this. A petition to say "abandon your unabandoned games" just seems to go against the definition of "abandon." I mean, they're still selling them.

Now if you had a petition to say that they need to release their games in some format easily playable and tested on modern systems or release them as freeware, then I'd sign that.

Yeah, I mean I have to agree, if the company is actually still selling/supporting their games, they DID develop it afterall, they can still sell them. Even though it goes against the abandonware code, what pisses me off is when game companies (like Sierra) abandon their games entirely, offer no support, no longer sell them, don't even aknowledge their existence on their website, yet because they are part of the ESA and/or some obscure guy somewhere still has 3 copies for sale, they're not considered abandonware. It's this mentality that can make some games become extinct, I don't understand the reasoning behind it if the company is literally making no profit off of the old game.
