Well, and there are ways to do it.
Look at the bavisoft stuff.
The games hadn't been developed for a while though.
The games are not officially abandoned, but neither are they actually
able to be brought either.
Technically bavisoft still owns them, but after the dev of that company
Fair points; both responses I mean.

As I stated earlier I think that a developer that is going to become of
no trace they should do a couple of things. One unlock the software for
people to be able to play the games.
Two have a way of someone contacting them to purchase the games. I have

I made it very clear what constitutes "abandonment" in my examples; there is no
ambiguity here, but I will have another go at it:
If you release a piece of software and sell it, then you own that software and

I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you here. If you, as a developer, have
abandoned, and this is very deliberate wording here, rather than stopped
supporting, again, very specific wording here, you have, in essence, given up

I am going to counter your question with a question: what is the harm in using
software that a developer no longer uses/makes any profit off of?

Hi all.
Interesting conversation.
So far everyone has pretty much said its fine.
Other than "So I can play it" are what are your reasons for this.
I come a
to continue to play it.
If you decide to pirate it and the developer returns, the first thing you
should ethically do is officially purchase the game.

If the developer indeed no longer has a presence/does not support their
software, then the game would be classified as "abandonware."
The answer, most definitively, is no, it is not wrong
If the developer indeed no longer has a presence/does not support

The answer, most definitively, is no, it is not wrong to crack
abandonware.

Me personally I don't think it is wrong. Especially if you purchased
the software.
I also don't think it is wrong if the developer just up and left with
no trace to contact the developer. That is just like Bavisoft and VipGamesZone.
It is sad for those who want to get a copy of a software
Hmmm it would depend on the dev in question.
www.agarchive.net should have most of the devs excluding bavisoft and
a few others but most devs are at least indexed and you can get
downloaded game installers at least.
The first thing is to probably try to contact the dev, failing that,
since most if
I don't think so if the software is unavailable any other way

If a developer is no where to be found. Their site and server are no more.
Which means you can't purchase, download and even activate the
software. Would it be wrong to use a crack to be able to activate the software?
Would it be wrong to do this even if you purchased the software in the
