Hi Cara, It makes perfect sense, and I for one agree with you. We could use a lot less negativity and a little more constructive thought how we might keep these games alive for posterity.
I for one have also have emailed Justin and have asked him if he'd be willing to sell the rights to Blindsoftware.com. So hopefully he will get back with you or I on that issue and be willing to sell his source to someone else who will carry the torch for BSC Games. Another option is Audyssey.org could start a Paypal account where everyone would donate x amount of money until the $75 is reached and then we could handle all free key replacements for BSC Games and Blindsoftware.com as a free service for the community. In that sense the games and the generator would be community property rather than belonging to any developer or company. Since Audyssey.org is a non-prophet organization we would maintain product keys and technical support as a community service free of charge. So might be the perfect solution to this problem if efforts to buy Blindsoftware.com falls through. Cheers!
