otherisation 

Used by the neuroscientist Kathleen Taylor to describe what happens when people are not included in their tribe; the others are commonly classed as beasts or subhumans.

Can be broadened towards separating people belonging to different religions or separating believers/non-believers, friends/not-friends

A motive or desire by someone that differs from the typical or expected motive or desire for that person, for whatever reason. This may be because of people's incorrect perceptions of the person's wishes, or may also be a result of the person wishing to do things differently than in the past or than the typical person or the person(s) this individual surrounds themselves with.

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.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
