The Unreal series may have been shelved years ago, but Epic is letting its first two installments live on through the Internet Archive.

Excellent that they don’t engage in Nintendo level community hostility and at least let people who care about old games preserve them.

Stream goes one step further and actively maintains their legacy games playable. That is commitment.

Every dev and game company is out for your money. They all suck not just Nintendo.

Eh, i wouldnt say they are better. They explicitly pulled all unreal games off all stores ( steam, epic store, gog, … ), killed all servers and when asked acted like unreal never existed. They are pieces of shit for doing it and they had no real reason in doing so imo…

Gog goes another step and provides a guarantee on stuff they’ve modified to ensure it works, and provide an offline installer that’s entirely self-contained for archviing purposes.

I prefer to buy GOG when possible, Steam second. I even have some duplicated titles across vendors.
