When two or more friends wish to go to a sporting event (in particular an NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills) and one of your friends refuses to go. This friendwill also give seemingly valid reasons why no one should attend the event.
I want us all to go to the Billsgame, but David Buchnea is being such a useless cock stapler!
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 gamealive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because idstill sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
