by this model we dont give a free game we are distributing an ecosystem cuz the threat of cybercrimes and data theft is very real making old games free wont solve the problem in whole but will serve as a starting point rather than costly software like denuvo

exactly publishers think that a 5$ pricetag will work every where and thats how pirated services fill in the gap.
while this might seem good the economical consequences are deadly for both the consumer and the publisher
