The Unreal series may have been shelved years ago, but Epic is letting its first two installments live on through the Internet Archive.

    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.

    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.

    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.
