Yes agreed. Even when there were more developers the community cried the
prices were to much and were looking for free copies of the software anyway.
Shared keys shared everything.
Entitlement to the very raw core.
Spend your time to develop a game for a very small community and oh yes
don't charge us for it.
The developers dont deserve and/or need to eat and/or pay their bills.

well, I'm sure our resident business owner will agree with me when I
say this. but just because people will do what they do to try and keep
an old game alive in the way that they want it to be, it's still not a
good decision for a game company to go... ah well... we will just make
this for free because people are just going to get there hands on it
anyway so whatever. This is why we don't have very many game
developers for this community. at least part of it anyway.

Hello,
I think this is a bad decision to not turn old windows games into
freewares, or make a final last chance bundle discount for a while,
but keep reading, ?ill try to tell you why.
If people want to have something, they will do it, no matter what,
even if the company don't want it. If the games were worth it, they
will survive in a form or another, no matter what the company does.
Look at what people do with emulators. Long long after well known
companies stopped selling old games, people enjoy them anyway today.
IN theory, using a ROM without owning the original game is illegal or
at least in the gray area, but nobody cares.
Back to Dracony, what is going to happen probably quite soon is that
people will start sharing their registration keys. The result is that
the game will become free anyway at the end. Be it with, or without
the company.
Imagine if that decision wasn't made by Dracony, but by Aaron Backer.
You can be sure that tomorrow, Manamon will never have been so
popular than when it was alive and actively sold.
I'm not encouraging illegal stuff, but let's talk in a few months or
years. I'm pretty sure it will happen. It already happpened like that
with other games in the past.
And, if it didn't happen, it basically means that these games weren't
a big loss. This is also possible, but it looks like the company was
quite popular in the community 20+ years ago, so I don't belive it
will fall in the void so quick.
Thank you for reading.

Here is an idea for Draconis. Why not put all of the current version of
the Windows titles in a bundle that everyone can buy?
I have seen other companies do this. I know that I will buy the iOS
version of the games when there are release.
