Noting wrong with the IA whatsoever. But given how harshly they’ve been treated by basically every government and corporate interest groups they’ve been forced to contend with foot the last few years, and the regular DDOSes, I personally always feel guilty downloading things from them and spending more of their resources on “relatively frivolous” things.
It paints a target on IA as a piracy distro while it’s plainly not. IA is not in the piracy game but using it to distribute questionable content can raise flags elsewhere.
Not sure how I feel about the dev using the internet archive to distribute the game.
By the way, who put it in the “Community software” collection? The game is not open source.
What’s wrong with using the internet archive?

How could this be confused as piracy. It’s uploaded by the developers of the game?
I’m not saying THIS particular instance does but generally using IA for that reason has fed into its detractor’s lame arguments against the site.
