Hey, I heard a rumour that Dune 2000 is free. As in it's not piracy to download it.

I can't imagine this is true.

Google only links me to torrents.

Is anyone able to confirm or deny this for me please?

For extra discussion value, what is your fondest memory of Dune 2000?
Did you play it on PlayStation or PC?
Is it superior or inferior to your favourite RTS from that era?

Better search terms I suppose. I looked for about 25 mins.

EDIT: this doesn't really confirm that it's legal to download for free, just that it's possible.

It's the official site; and they ask for donations strictly to keep up with server costs, I'm guessing it is.

Also Terms

Never mind. It's abandonware. It isn't sold anywhere any more but it's illegal to download, which is still legally considered piracy.

Fucking sucks.

EDIT: The site doesn't look very much like an official site at all.

ReEDIT: EA own it. It's not the official site at all.

Downloading abandonware is (somewhat) legal.
Okay, it's actually a gray area, but abandonia is a very legitimate site that tries to contact the new copyright holder to get permission and instantly responds to C&D letters.

So unless you're an ideological follower of every single aspect of copyright law, it's "okay" to download it.
