What I don't get is - I have bought the various collections (because my original copies are on floppies and such). As such, I then installed it on my external drive (because they take so little room). So when I get new external drives, I copy my folders from one to the next. So I always have a copy present. I even backed up my installs onto CDs/DVDs (because of a external drive crash once, lesson learned). So I never need to go to my basement (which is good, because I don't have one, so that would make matters complicated!)
Yeah, it doesn't fund the original artists/creators... but it does show an interest in adventure games. (Not that they have executed their attempts at adventure games very well with LSL:MCL or LSL:BOB, but...)
