GOG started because some guys stockpiled pirated copies of games, then cracked and/or reversed engineered them to work on modern PCs. Eventually, they got the rights to sell some legally and GOG.com was born.

Nice! Didn't know that!

My point was that piracy isn't always bad because companies have no incentive to preserve their products after they've stopped selling. (See vintage ROMs)

True.
