flanyboy is saying that, though the practice of letting older games leak out is questionable (read: illegal) from a copyright standpoint, it does lead to legitimate sales and can serve as an introduction to the hobby. More vigorous copyright enforcers like EA/Ubi may want to take note.

Now, is he right? Meh. I understand both arguments. I can tell you though that I used 'Underdogs' to get the original Mogul (98) at a time when I was out of work, and as my situation improved that led me to first get into 'modern' Mogul, then OOTP.
