I do have and play a lot of older titles. What will you do when you would like to activate a game from one of these companies that require online activation but are merging, renaming or simply dropping like flies out of business. Fortunately I have all of the codes and serial numbers that I can use to install my games. I get the error when I try to update the patches but this web site as well as a few others help me when the company no longer is in existance. How better will I fare when todays games get older and I am no longer able to aactivate my game making it useless? Do I then look for the torrent? If steam ever goes down am I screwed? Thats a lot of faith to put in one company in the hopes that you can always play with what you have paid.
