Yo, So to elaborate a bit further regarding Unreal/Unreal Tournament games (I am the user EnforcerSentinel from the GOG forums quoted above) - This was discussed at length in the OldUnreal (fan) community, in which keeps an NDA with Epic Games so that they can continue to update the first two games (Unreal with version 227 and UT with version 469), as it's closed source. The post I made on GOG might not entirely correct, alot of this was the reason theorized by another moderator and I assumed it was based on information which we weren't given (it still might be, honestly it's not per se confirmed ye or ne). Regardless of whether or not it's true, Epic (or specifically some of the higher ups) seem to be keen on keeping the games buried anyway. It also should be stressed that there are still people at Epic who care about the franchise but unfortunately cannot override those higher ups. The OldUnreal patch development team still has permission to update Unreal and UT and they recently had their NDA's renewed at behest of Stacey "Flak" Conley, who has always been Unreal and UT's community manager. Flak also gave us a shoutout on the Unreal Engine birthday stream before Christmas last year. Also regarding Unreal and UT's masterservers, Epic's masterserver shutdowns didn't really affect us, as we've relied on community masterservers since the gamespy shutdown. Aside from 227 and 469, there is also an open source legal Unreal Engine 1 recreation effort being made named Surreal Engine, too. A user would still be required to own their specific games, all Surreal Engine does is replace the Engine and subsystems that behaves akin to the original Ue1 but not entirely identicle. So, while I think that the delisting of the franchise is quite vile, atleast there are some positives happening. Unreal and UT are also still both played online and mapped/modded for today. I know this thread is over a year old, sorry that it's a bit of a necropost - but as i was scrolling through this forum and found my quote here I thought i should supply more information, and it seemed to make more sense than starting a new thread. Also was drawn to this forum in support of the valuable legal campaign currently being run by Ross which I have alot of appreciation for doing this (also I it was pleasant to see Ross still doing his thing since I last watched Freemans mind over a decade ago). As a UK citizen I also signed the petition towards parliament relevant to the situation, and even though I don't play The Crew I will absolutely help out in any way that i can. I certainly think game and cultural preservation is an entirely necessary thing and direly requires legal precedent protecting it. Cheers!

The largest campaign ever to stop publishers destroying games
polymerize-finale replied to Ross Scott's topic in Other Videos
@Ross Scottyou have said previously that you're not going to ask people for money for this campaign, unless you have some specific purpose you want to achieve (like a lawsuit which you think might succeed). While I support that in general, I have to ask: could you use money? Obviously all of us could use some more money, but I mean: are there any specific things you would like to do, which you believe would be impactful for this campaign, and which you could do if you had some specific amount of money? For example, maybe you know someone who would be a good part-time assistant, and you could hire them for $10,000. Or maybe there's some specific software tool that would be really useful for running the campaign, but the account/license would cost $1000/yr, or something along those lines. I ask because I know people who are rich, generous, and like video games. In my experience, they tend to be much more attracted to donating to concrete objectives that they can see the value of ("Buy Ross a Salesforce Marketing Cloud subscription*") than to vague future possibilities ("Help support Ross's campaign"). Thus, if you have a wishlist, I'd be interested to hear it. Feel free to message me privately about this if you like. IF YOU ARE NOT ROSS feel free to brainstorm ideas. Perhaps Ross has not thought of something. I would advise brainstormers to consider primarily things where the solution is money, not time and effort (mostly). For example, I suggested that if Ross *ALREADY KNEW* someone who would be available and effective as a part-time assistant, then this would be a good use of money. But stopping other work in order to search for, vet, and hire such an assistant could easily be a inefficient distraction. *I am not in any way suggesting that Salesforce Marketing Cloud is something that Ross ought to consider using. I have no experience with it. I just tried to think "What's an expensive software product that someone might use in connection with a publicity campaign?" -
