Doesn't www.abandonia.com still exist? Why are we going to pay for games that don't have anybody still around to collect the money for?

It's quite alright to charge for the games,why should they provide them for free when they put the effort in,tell ya what at least you get something for your money not like paying some kid a $1.00 for pixel on a website..lmao..me wonders if kid blew it all
Edit: not sure how long ago but some fella has a webpage that he charged for every pixel for small adverts or large ones if you could afford it

Never heard of them, but I like their prices! I wonder if their likely slim profit margin is made up for in add on sales?
