This equivocates piracy and bittorrent tech as stated. That’s lame.
Great job to all volunteers who organized and participated in this initiative. And also, a big thank you to Myrient for having had so many games preserved all this time and for giving the community a chance to prepare for a time when it will no longer be around.
Torrents? Yes, but another SaveMyrient mod has confirmed “Torrents is only a temporary solution as of now.”
That's reassuring. I'll donate where possible, half my NAS is Myrient sourced well before the shutdown announcement.
I didn’t open the article. I remember playing this game. Anyone knows the name?
Descent, it’s the reason I play with an inverted mouse Y axis.
Descent II
Darude - Sandstorm
But if you mean the thumbnail/article graphic, just open the article and read the caption. It's labeled.
It's not a game, it's an archive of games
I thought I saw an earlier story that suggested they may try to bring the site back if hardware costs come down to earth, but I may have imagined it. Did anyone see that?
