Gotta say, BFME 1 and 2 are probably one of the worst choices to discuss abandonware, i hate to say "it works on my machine" but it does work on my machine, it has windows 10 and everything.<br><br>On the topic at hand, yes, always online videogames are much much harder to preserve, and it would be best if companies at LEAST give the code so people can keep playing, ive seen a ton of revival projects like SW galaxies, Battleforge, etc. if there is passion behind it and there is a thriving community, you can even restore MMOs. Now, thats not ideal and of course dead online games with no fanbases like battleborn or lawbreakers are going to stay dead. I hate to say this, because its a slippery slope, but there needs to be legal consequences to fully abandoning a game with no way of ever being able to be played again, this is honestly the only way companies will listen, because they legit dont give a fuck how long a game is played, only how much money it makes.
