would pirating fallout 1 and 2 be justifiable/legal?

[Night Fox]

no, because they arent abandoned. they just arent retailed anymore. thats not the same thing.

Abandonware is a product, typically software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, and for which no product support is available.

Bethesda needs to get off their ass and republish these games. It was agreed that they would have the rights to sell and distribute the old games as of jan 1st, 2014. There excuse it that they were still dealing with legal papers. Most likely it is low priority since they dealing with eldar scrolls online or they just want to bury the games promote 3 and fallout 4.

Buy it Amazon, or ask someone on No Mutants Allowed for help.

Also the gog version comes already modded. Steam version requires a bit of tweaking to get rid of the rainbows color bug.

The game mechanics are fine once you learn them.

no, they're always bad

[Schrödinger]

no, they're always bad

Except after you learn them. Like I did. In 2012. After a few hours of play. Anyways, the mechanics aren't what everyone liked about the first two Fallout games. It was the freedom the games gave you. Want to be all muscle and no brain? You can.
