Leisure Suit Larry Giveaways

Indiegala is celebrating a Leisure Suit Larry sale by giving away the first two games in the long-running lechery series (thanks Ant). Those interested should head over and register for the right to collect free copies of both Leisure Suit Larry 1 - In the Land of the Lounge Lizards and Leisure Suit Larry 2 Looking For Love (In Several Wrong Places). Just remember your breath mints, your condoms, and, of course, your leisure suit. Here's a quick refresher on the games:

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards is the first game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series, largely inspired by the text adventure Softporn Adventure, though with a greatly enhanced script containing more humorous descriptions and dialogue. A text parser is used to input commands for interaction with a graphical environment. Progress is achieved by collecting various items and figuring out which of those may be essential for conquering the hearts of the several female characters appearing in the game.

Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places) is the second game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series. Continuing the plot of the previous game, the swinging single Larry Laffer has finally found his true love and is happily living with her. Right? Wrong!.. Because Larry is mercilessly thrown out by his great love and is left all alone, penniless, and womanless, in Los Angeles. Accidentally, Larry comes into contact with KGB agents who will pursue him all over the globe from now on. And there is also the evil doctor Noontonyt plotting evil schemes on a remote tropical island... Looks like Larry will have to forget about his women-related problems for now... or is it so?

I don't like these uninspired "giveaways" because they only exist to make sure the games can never be treated as abandonware, preventing the community from legally distributing them.

As they continue to be free after months, maybe years, that prevention seems rather doubtful ?
Have 150 freebies on Indiegala, many are really good.
Anyway, don't want these, but somebody will love them for the best reasons, thanks anyway

It requires you to signup with a 3rd party and subjects you to their marketing material. It prevents you from including the game in software packs legally (rpie/MiSTer/etc). And you have to use tools produced freely by the community to play these games on modern computers. If it falls into abandonware, these games can live a much better second life in reto game archives rather than fragmenting them on various bundling sites that may not exist next year.

Thanks for the great info.
On my part, I'm fine with the game developers/publishers, as owners, deciding to abide by Indiegala rules.

I go assiduously to
https://www.myabandonware.com/browse/recent/windows/

They have hundreds of games posted (sloooooowwwww speeds), with the proviso that if a possible owner objects, they are inmediately unavailable, with a link on where they can be purchased (if eventually there is one).

Forgettable ones aside, got dozens of great fantastic games there, old lost memorable favorites as well as new to me.
Most run perfect (win xp sp3, etc), though be mindful of old DRM with a few.
