when is a game this old finally public domain so they can get rid of the original game installation requirement?

Don’t say that, the Hudson Bay Company died a few years ago. It’s worth a read in Wikipedia; they were so powerful hundreds of years ago that they were treated like a country.

IBM is defunct for consumer tech.

Radio Shack is dead.

Many other examples haha.

Bethesda released it for free before they shut down their proprietary game launcher a few years ago, so a totally legitimate copy is already on the web archive :-)

If you own the game, just get a torrent or something.

They did release both Arena and Daggerfall for free after a while.

I keep a USB DVD drive for this reason. I should upgrade to BD when it craps out
