Yeah, probably not a hint. They wouldn't be so subtle ...

Jul 8th 2009 7:03PM That's true – they're not using ScummVM (Sev mentions as much in his blog post), but it's still not clear if they needed to change the data files, or merge data into the executable (which has obviously removed ScummVM compatibility).
I've asked LucasArts for clarification.

Jul 8th 2009 6:44PM I only use my original collection w/ ScummVM and some of these games I never had. I've been meaning to fill it out w/ eBay, etc. but I'd much rather give my money straight to LucasArts for supporting these older titles.

Sounds like you do give a shit though! :-P

Jul 8th 2009 6:42PM Grudge against Windows? I have no idea why anyone would have that?!
(And from my vantage point, most of the human race has a grudge against Windows ... just sayin')

Jul 8th 2009 6:34PM Absotootly – a perfect compromise for me would be to use Boot Camp to go in and buy the games I want off Steam, and then be on my own to get them to work in Mac OS (or wherever). Looks like we're really close to doing that here; we'll see if they patch ScummVM to work with the new file formats. This is a great way to fill in the holes in my LucasArts library, but if they're only ever going to work in Windows, I'll go back to eBay for the discs.

Jul 8th 2009 6:30PM That's how I downloaded them in the first place – but restarting my computer every time I want to play a game is hardly a perfect solution, no?

Jul 8th 2009 6:29PM Really? From my point of view, I'd agree with Magresda – the comment above's stupidity is self-evident. Pointing out why it's stupid would be insulting to most mammals with higher-level reasoning.
