Epic Allows Internet Archive to Distribute Unreal and Unreal Tournament Forever

Or, "How To Get Some Public Appreciation With Minimal Effort: An Attempt".

If they actually cared they'd host (and more importantly, supported since they probably don't run on modern systems without some fiddling) those games themselves.

Not like they don't have a store with games or anything.

I have not much love for Epic and they can always do it better. Still, it’s a step in the right direction and I wish other game developers would do that.

Also, another argument for proper funding of the Internet Archive.

You mean like government/international body level funding?

That's not unreasonable.

? Internet Archive is sure to outlast Epic. Putting all your eggs in the same basket is worse than allowing the archive to do what they were created for

Shitting on people when they do something good for not going further is a surefire way of stopping them from doing anything else.

Given the continued mismanagement of the IA I would put decent money on that not happening actually.

Can you elaborate or link to more on the mismanagement aspect? I’m not up to speed on IA drama.
