So, you are looking forward to having to pay for something that you could get for free before?You're looking forward to giving money to a company that have nothing to do with the original developers?The reason that I buy games is because I want to support the developers, to pay them for their work and to encourage them to make more games that I enjoy in the future. Not because of legality, and certainly not to support companies with no actual entitlement other than having purchased the rights to something they had no hand in creating.

@Marvin: I'm less interested in the quantity of players who follow some marketing campaign and bring their consumerist attitude of entitlement with them. Those will almost certainly be disappointed by the lack of flashy graphics, multiplayer and stability at higher resolutions. I'm more interested in the players with a genuine interest who may have something to contribute to this community.
