The Abandonware Ring

This isn’t a post we wanted to make, but it’s time to be honest with everyone. After a lot of discussion, we’ve decided to suspend both Abandonia and Reloaded from the Abandonware Ring.

Here’s the reality: Abandonia was once a legendary spot for anyone hunting down classic games and lost gems. But these days, it’s a shadow of its former self. When you visit, you’re hit with a wall of casino ads, pages that barely load, and error messages everywhere you turn. The games—the whole point of the site—just don’t work anymore. We’re actually worried about the safety of our users at this point. It doesn’t feel right to send someone there, especially new folks who might think they’ll find the games they want, only to end up on a site overrun with ads.

It’s not just the technical mess, either. There’s been no sign of updates, care, or even basic moderation from the current owner. We’ve even reached out directly to offer help, but our messages have been ignored. We owe it to the community to protect everyone from spammy ads, dead links, and disappointment.

We’re not closing the door forever—if things turn around, we’d love to welcome them back. But for now, we’re stepping back.

Thanks for sticking with us and for keeping the real spirit of abandonware alive.
