Because you were told not to, because it's against forum rules, and because that's not going to change as long as EA is as aggressive as they are about their IP.
You run a game by running its executable? How surprising, I'm sure legal users don't do that.
All that tells us is that you keep your hard disk in a very messy condition, installing games to the root of your drive, and that you're a fairly inept Windows user who still has file extensions hidden.
Where do you see Forum Rules? And I thought copyrights expired for it.
And how do you figure I keep my hard drive messy? I have it right where I can easily find it, if I put it somewhere else It'd take more time to get to. And why wouldn't you hide file extensions? Why would they need to be shown? To mess up your files by renaming them and deleting the filetype? :nono:

You have sticky threads at the top of the forum. And forum guidelines at the bottom. If you had read the sticky about SS2 not being abandonware you'd see that the copyrights have NOT expired.
This is the last time I warn you: do not try to justify what you did, do not question our 'big deals', and do not keep saying that you have an illegal copy. Just ask whatever questions you have, and keep it that way. The next time I see a thread of yours where you, again, say that you downloaded the game, that thread will vanish.

I got it before coming here, I came here because I needed help on something actually.

15. And who would want copyrights to a game from 1999 anyways?

To be fair, it's installed to the root of his D: drive, which is probably a dedicated games/data partition.

Okay, you can't possibly be this stupid. 1999 isn't even ten years old. Doom came out in 1993, and that's still an active, widely recognized IP. It's not at all unusual for sequels to be released for games that came out in the '80s. Yeah, wow, mind-blowing isn't it?

I do have some games there, most of them emulated (my PC isn't that good, although luckily its overqualified for SS2).
And I thought that it was so old people give up on it, but seriously, I don't hear of it being released in any way, not even something like Xbox Live or some place like that.

News Flash: A company can sit on their copyrights and do nothing with them if they so desire. That doesn't mean the copyright expires, or that you can pirate the software legally. Do you really think that
any company would just 'give up' on a license they could profit from?
Do you think copyrights expire on videogames after a few years, but not on movies, books, or music? Or do you think it's perfectly alright to download those, as long as they're older than five years?
