Shareware isn't freeware

...oh thanks...but I perfectly know what a shareware game is.

Can you prove it?

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware

Commander Keen 1 and 4 doesn't mention "Freeware" anywhere on them. They're strictly shareware titles, part of a commercial game series (CK2-3/CK5-6). Plus after quitting, it nags you to order the game. Freeware doesn't do that.

If Abandonia Reloaded started collecting this 'freeware' known as shareware, it'd be a mess. OMG QUAKE EPISODE 1 = FREEWARE etc. It's bad enough the Penumbra tech demo is on the site already confusing people that Penumbra is a freeware game = no.


It's common sense, jeez.



Edit by David: "Can you prove it" was about that:
