     (I should note that I don't know who NullPoEx is, and they don't represent eXoDOS. They're just a random YouTube commenter AFAIK. But still, gross.)

     For the record, I'm actually in support of piracy-as-software-preservation for games that are no longer sold. But there are plenty of DOS games -- old and new -- that are still actively sold, and come pre-packaged with DOSBox so that you can run them.

     eXoDOS contains the full registered and retail versions of Doom and Doom II, for crying out loud.

     I saw this comment on a YouTube video about eXoDOS, and I find it really upsetting.

     By their logic, my company's games are automatically "abandonware" the day they come out, because they're "no longer commercially viable" because Microsoft no longer "supports" MS-DOS

     If I make a new NES game, does it automatically go in the "abandonware" bin?

     Or better yet, let's say I made a Wii U game last decade. Should I lose my copyright on it because I decided not to port it to Switch?

     Fuck this attitude
