Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

No one can guarantee to hold your media forever. Not even you can.
Accept every attempt as it is and be thankful someone tried.

I mean, yeah? If they give it to you DRM free, then it is solely your problem to make sure you actually keep it forever.

If I bought a game and I lose access, the publisher should either be required to give me access or refund my money.

It's still yours to keep forever. They didn't promise to keep it for you forever.

Guessing you didn't read the article, since this is similar to GoG with offline installers available for download.
