WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation when it launched back in 1995. The anti-gravity racing game was phenomenal. Now it’s abandoned.

This is more of a preservation thing, I think. The guy is clearly not interested in the theft or harm of the game. He’s doing this because he thinks this old-ass game is so good that more people should play it.

Still not the greatest presence on the PC for this genre, unfortunately.

To be fair there are already quite a few of those. Pacer (which used to be called Formula Fusion), Redout, and BallisticNG are all already out
