That's true, and I'm personally not one of those guys that's going to get all bent out of shape if you 'pirate' these old titles. (Especially if you purchased the games at some point in the past.) And of course if the developer offers a game for download for free there's absolutely nobody that can give you crap about downloading the game. (Ground Control, anybody?)
The thing that really appeals to me here is that a lot of the games are going to be re-tooled to work on newer operating systems. I remember trying to play System Shock 2 on XP about three months ago and I just gave up because I had so many issues with getting it to run, I just gave up.
With this, I don't need to deal with any crappy DRM and (hopefully) any issues with Vista or XP working with these old games.
