Just yesterday, I wanted to play Poker Night 2, but because of a license issue, it's been removed everywhere.
At least the Internet Archive has it, but from this year's removed books, it seems losing anything else is a possibility too. : / A good example of how something as recent as 2012 can be lost
Thank bingus for Anna's Archive
And thank you for making people who have not heard of Anna's Archive (including myself) aware
+1 for that, but it’s a shame they don’t have individual torrents. I understand why, but manually going to the site and searching for things is a pain. I’m used to just using qBitTorrent’s built in search, and automatically polling a dozen different torrent tracker sites.
Or these days, I just add the media to my Readarr server, and it handles everything (including getting it imported to Calibre automatically) for me.
only shadow archives are real archives. anything subservient to the law is compromised, and WILL be destroyed eventually, probably with no notice. do not rely on it for anything that will ever matter to you.
