The Unreal series may have been shelved years ago, but Epic is letting its first two installments live on through the Internet Archive.
Oh man, UT2004 was my fave arena death match back in the day, so much fun. Hope they release more!
Every 10,000 cycles Epic has a small w. I’ll take it.
Excellent that they don’t engage in Nintendo level community hostility and at least let people who care about old games preserve them.
Stream goes one step further and actively maintains their legacy games playable. That is commitment.
Eh, i wouldnt say they are better. They explicitly pulled all unreal games off all stores ( steam, epic store, gog, … ), killed all servers and when asked acted like unreal never existed. They are pieces of shit for doing it and they had no real reason in doing so imo…
Every dev and game company is out for your money. They all suck not just Nintendo.
Still weird that they stopped selling them on steam and gog…
Sussy, but i’m glad
Winning move from Epic. Showing what should be done for abandoned games. Give it back to the people so it can continued to be enjoyed by the community that will continue to care for it.
While I don’t approve of Epic’s stabs at exclusivity, Steam needs a competitor to keep it in check, and one that is making some efforts to support the preservation of art is a welcome choice.
But GOG is alresdy the Steam with Principles…
