Quoting: trawzThat's great! I have the game on GOG tho, so I don't think I can access it yet :(

Edit: found another sale for a Steam copy. It's going for €3,49 along with the original Mount and Blade & Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword on https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/mount-blade-triple-pack-pc/ [External Link]

I have it on gog too, but it works on gog now, with the October update

Quoting: stretch611More than likely, it is not legal. If it was legal chances are that Blizzard/Activision would be making the announcement, not some unknown "hacker" named "GalaXyHaXz". Also, if it was legal, I would expect the original source code to be released... not some reversed engineered code.

In many cases, it is hard to tell how a company would react to 20-25 year old code being released illegally. Some companies may not exist anymore, and others would ignore it as it is not likely to be worth much more than a curiosity of a time long passed.

However, this is Blizzard/Activision... We have seen what they have done to people that have tried to extend their code before and it results in takedowns [External Link] and lawsuits [External Link]. Even people who create bots have been taken to court by Blizzard. Expect the same treatment here... a quick DCMA takedown notice to the site hosting the code, followed by a major lawsuit against the hacker.

technically it is quite legal, this was reverse engineered, not just outright theft of code. but when it comes to the civil court room, legality takes a back seat to "can I afford to defend myself in court against a giant corporation with more expensive lawyers"

Surviving Mars

Tux walks up to two lions at the zoo and tells them about all the wonders of open software and leaves.

one lion said to the other "was that a talking penguin?"

well, considering they won't even allow tes 1,2,battle-spire,or redguard on gog for Linux (seriously, dosbox is dosbox) and every one of ID's Linux binaries have conveniently disappeared from the Internet, my guess is that Zennimax subscribes to the Steve Ballmer school of thought when it comes to linux

Quoting: MblackwellYou suggested Steam, but it seems the Steam releases don't give you a CD Key and all of the original binaries require one. I hope the same is not true of source ports.

steam most certainly does give you the cd key for the base game and the expansion, you just gotta click on the button that says cd key on the library page once the game is fully installed, you get a pop-up window with the cd key in it, copy it and paste it into the cd key text file and you're good to go

I fall into the "for those who can't afford it" category, house hunting/buying/moving/furnishing is very expensive and my resources are stretched thin. but it is on my gog wish list and is a top priority purchase when my finances finally get back in black
