My point is more that software companies want to have it both ways. They drop their support for products but still want to be paid like the stuff is new off the shelf, not obsolete and unsupported.

I think that copyright law should be rewritten for software and games. It made sense that book authors would only lose their copyright after 50 years but for software or games I believe 10 years is more than enough. They copy each other, why can't we gamers have the right to play old games as we see fit ?
