!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

One of the reasons people won’t stop buying The Sims 2.
Sims 2 is abandonware, no need to buy it: https://github.com/voicemxil/TS2-Starter-Pack
Funny to see this when I just now used it this weekend.
there's even a Lutris installation script
[Edit] crazy not even a day later and EA takes it down : ( The previously downloadable installer still works though
Even if it became abandonware at some point, is it still abandonware if the rightsholders are actively selling it?
