just a suggestion but rather than kill yourself, maybe you could just refuse to play it, or read anything about it?

Yes, The Pirate Bay has a digital distribution version of this game.
It's not certain when GoG can have these games, I think I heard it was to do with the D&D license and it explains why they can offer other Interplay games, including the Fallout games, but not the Infinity Engine games who all use the D&D license.

Downloading PT:S, even by legal means, is considered blasphemy and the vilest sin you could ever commit. Your hair will fall out and you won't be able to have kids. Just a heads up.

But it's a victimless crime!
A mortal sin, nonetheless.
Oh, while we derailed into this area, could someone tell me one thing that keeps bugging me for some time now ?
Does it actually make sense to buy games made by companies that do not exist now (except for collectable value)? I mean, the only one who gets money is the greedy publisher who didn't participate in the making of the game at all, so the cash won't go to the devs, reward their hard work and show them that the product is bought and people are interested so they need to continue releasing similar stuff.

Bah, when you'll be dead, what would you use your soul for anyway?

Copyrights, licenses, and patents can be sold and purchased. The advantage of this system; whether you are talking about an author, composer, or game developer; is that it allows the “artist” to focus on what they do well, and have someone else purchase their creation and promote and distribute it. This is the reason most authors, composers, and developers work with publishers. Each focuses on what they do well and it is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Some of these arrangements give the original “artist” a residual income and some do not. It depends on the original arrangement, which is an agreement between the artist and the publisher/distributor. In any case, attempting to justify piracy because the user does not or cannot directly do business with the people who created the original content just removes the profitability from the distributor, who in turn becomes more selective regarding where they will put their money in the future. The weakest or least popular developers will end up taking the brunt of the cutbacks and the Mario Brothers and GTA franchises that have the largest audiences will be the least affected.Darth Roxor said:

My own opinion is that if it's not available in an acceptable form (discs if you want them instead of a digital copy, the language you want, new if you want a new copy...) and for a reasonable price you might as well torrent it. So you should buy Fallout, but you might torrent Torment. I bought Torment on eBay because I really wanted the actual CDs, and because I want to *own* the game, but I play it with disc images. Note that your opinion of what 'acceptable' and 'reasonable' mean may be (and likely is) different from mine, and that piracy is a crime anyway.Darth Roxor said:
edit: On second thought, I shouldn't have said this. Piracy is wrong. I was just feeling frustrated because there are many good games that nobody prints anymore. Torrent a game only if its price is really unfairly high. You can get Torment for 50€, that's not much after all.

Yes, but PS:T is not distributed anymore, it's simply out of print. The only way to buy it is to get it second-hand, and then really nobody profits but the douchebag you're buying it from, and Ebay. It doesn't even register on the radar of publishers, distributors or developers.
Torrent it until it becomes available, or when this sick system changes (yeah like that's going to happen)...
Btw I really don't get it; the only thing whoever is holding the license has to do, is to put a version of PS:T on an online distribution service for $5. Easy income guaranteed.

Pretty sure there's some issue with the DnD folks cause it's a dead setting.
