abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.



abandonware
An old piece of software, more often than not a game, people used to play years ago and from a company that probably went out of business.
Example:
- Monkey Island is abandonware right?


abandonware
A term created by software pirates to describe a game or program that has been "abandoned" by its creators and is no longer available in stores. Of course, this has no legal standing, and the copyrights were never abandoned, so downloading abandonware is just as illegal as downloading a new release.
Example:
"This game isn't in stores, so it must be abandonware."


abandonware
throw away containers for left-overs. NOT like Tupperware, which is expensive. Abandonware can be tossed after lunch without your Mom freeking.
Example:
That guy is so poor, he reuses abandonware


Abandonware Down
Literally translates to "Not crack up".
Said when something is not funny.
The opposite of crack up.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Created by finding the opposite of crack(ed) which is obviously abandonware & the opposite of up which has to be down.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Example:
I'm all out of weed and there is no where to get anymore = ABANDONWARE DOWN!
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Bob: "hey dude stop dumping stuff all over the place"

John: "I dump that stuff right there for you"

Bob: "Abandonware Down!!!"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Bob: "Did you see that homey on the computer poking the
screen with his back-seat browser brothers bothering everyone?"

John: "Yea it's abandonware down all-right


Steam Abandonware
Games on steam that have been abandoned by their developers, left to die in (usually) an unfinished state. These games clutter the steam store but steam refuses to remove them as they make money still. Some players cling to the game despite its abandonment, and in some cases, people don't know or care that it is abandoned. Most of the time these kinds of games can be considered a ripoff as they are sold for a high price for a buggy mess of a unfinished product. Some of these games break as they age and become unplayable. Games that are endorsed by the development team though are not being actively updated do not count as abandonware, as the developers and the community still regularly upkeep and/or endorse the game.
Example:
I have so many Steam Abandonware games
