Hi Dentin.
I didn't say we were "entitled!" to the games, only that the scarcity of
such makes them far more important than developers might realize, indeed
this is why Justin Dobemire has recieved so much flack after vanishing with
the Bsc titles.
I don't know what you mean about "assembling the necessary cash for a key
generator" sinse I'm not sure what the negotiation would be, sinse to have
the system actually be of bennifit for the hole community the key generator
would need to be available to everyone perminantly, not just the people who
bought it at the time as was the case with Bsc, and I am not sure what the
negotiations for that sort of discussion would involve. Fortunately Liam has
decided to release the games as freeware so that isn't a discussion we need
to have.
You are of course correct that the ultimate disposal of anything is up to
the owner, however there are other considderations than merely possession,
indeed this is a principle which capitalism has largely lost but one which
was important at one time, the respect of the seller for their customers.
Considder for example what would happen if you took Alteraeon down now,
burnt all the code and said "nobody ever plays this againn!" You are quite
within your legal rights to do that. It's largely your game and your server
that hosts it, however you'd make a lot of people very unhappy in the
process in denying their desire to play your game.

Zagreus sits inside your head,
Zagreus lives among the dead,
Zagreus sees you in your bed,
And eats you when you're sleeping.
Zagreus at the end of days,
Zagreus lies all other ways,
Zagreus comes when time's a maze,
And all of history's weeping.
Zagreus taking time apart.,
Zagreus fears the hero heart,
Zagreus seeks the final part,
The reward that he is reaping.
Zagreus sings when all is lost,
Zagreus takes all those he's crossed,
Zagreus wins and all is cost,
The hero's hearts he's keeping.
Zagreus seeks the hero's ship,
Zagreus needs the web to rip,
Zagreus sups time at a drip,
And life aside, he's sweeping.
