Re-investment is not always an option, and in my mind, not necessary. Your also forgetting that Neverwinter nights is a 'game', and as such, children 'can' be the ones playing it, and they may have saved up their pocket money and all sorts of things to get their original game discs. Neverwinter nights is already at final patch stage, 1.69 at least, as far as I am aware, is the latest and final supported version of nwn by bioware. That just means you need to be sure about where you 'ahem'.acquire your Copy. Getting a prosecution would be next to impossible, especially if you had proof that you were an authentic owner of a Neverwinter nights game, that you did lose the discs for. No one would attempt to prosecute you for downloading a game that you genuinely did purchase once upon a time - Its like one of those annoying laws that - yes, are real, but no one really cares, because they are trivial, and the legal courts have bigger fish to fry. A jury of your peers would never convict - who hasnt downloaded an mp3 in this day and age.Ģ.
You are morally doing nothing wrong - you bought a game, you want to play it, you are going to play the game that you bought. Meaning the person who provided you the copy is more in the wrong.Īn interpretation of this could also be, that you can copy and copy your game, as much as you like, as long as you destroy the original, and that there only exists a single 'copy' of the game in your possession, per purchase, at any one time.Īlot of this legality mumbojumbo is mitigated by the fact thatġ. Some people will argue that the purchase of the game extends to a single copy of the game - Meaning copying of the game or re-distribution of it, can be illegal. Some people will argue that the legality is - If you bought it, you can download it for personal use. With regards to legality of downloading of games and licensing. (Note - The Mac Version of NWN is harder to acquire than the PC Versions - which is why the understanding fellows at Bioware were forthcoming about it) (the executables are different, but the data / content is the same)
In the end, I found a guide, which was 'almost' endorsed by bioware staff on the old forums, where they tell you how to turn the demo version of nwn (downloadable at some link), into the full version, by simply copying some folders from the pc version to the mac demo install. I had bought legitamit copies of the game, for the PC Version, so why should I have to purchase the exact same game to play on the Mac system etc. I even debated the issue, when I wanted to play nwn on my Macbook. Its been debated almost to death the issue of downloading game iso's etc.
