Who gets the money from the sales in July 2004?
Certainly not Interplay and not the developers (who dispersed to various companies).
I don't give a flying fuck about the retailers. They're just trying to move old "crap" off the warehouses.
Finally there are private eBay sellers. Question - why do they sell their game? Is it because they already made (illegal) copy of it, or because they didn't care for the game? Either way, not worth your money.
Now if that conversation took place three years ago, that'd be a different situation. But now I just can't come up with a reason why you shouldn't download Fallout from the Internet.
