Where will I be able to buy a new copy of System Shock 2? Will EB have the game?biggest_loser
Most likely you will not be able to find any "new" copies of system shock 2 let alone used copies at EB games. Best thing to do is call around to all your local game stores that sell used PC games and once that fails, find it online somewhere.
[QUOTE="IZoMBiEI"]You wont be able to buy system shock 2 anymore as its now abandonware. The good news is its a free download now, just google it.biggest_loser
Is that legitimate? Would you be able to find a good link for me? Please? Would be much appreciated!
google it, because its against the GS TOS to post links of torrents or illegal downloads. And system shock 2 isnt abandonware, as stated by foxhound_fox.

No it is not. Abandonware falls into a legal grey area. By copyright law it is illegal to own copies of games you do not own, no matter how "legal" abandonware sites make it seem. The reason it is a grey area is because the copyright owners are not around anymore to sue you for stealing their software. And yes, it is still stealing.

Technically it isn't abandonware. EA owns the majority copyright and they are still in business and could re-release the game at any time.
oh you're right, its weird though how so many abandonware sites still have that game posted
You won't be able to find a new copy, it's not still in print. The game is from 1998, and it never got picked up on budget lines - which is amazing, because it's so clearly a game that people just want to be buying and playing.
You can grab a second hand copy on ebay or amazon, or you can use that other source. I'm anti-piracy (the game is not abandonware) but I'm pro-people-playing-shock-2. So I say just go for it, get it any way you want: just get it.
