How can anyone offer that?
It shouldn't be that hard, gog.com manages to do it
Oh I thought they meant having the content permanently available for download, which is impossible. Thanks for the clarification!
That said, GOG releases is the most common kind on torrent trackers where there are any.
So - there is virtue to commercial concerns, but not in the way that assropes customers.
They might be the most common because they're the easiest, but there are also still plenty of people actually paying for the games. I'll never be convinced that piracy is an actual threat to making money. Piracy has never been easier, just see /c/[email protected] for proof, and yet pretty much all forms of entertainmment are as profitable as ever.
Google play music used to offer it as well.
