I loved this game.
But you don't need to buy it there, Bluedrake gives it out for free.

It is. since SWAT 4 wasn't offically sold anymore, he was allowed to give it free to download.

It doesn't really matter whether the company exists anymore or not. That doesn't just give a free pass for this kind of stuff...
It's also not really a gray area. The guy uploads somebody elses property and unless he got permission to do so, that's illegal. I'm not saying that it's necessarily a bad thing though. While I do not support piracy at all, if a game is simply not available to buy anymore, I personally think it's okay to download it (however if it ever becomes available again, you should really just buy it).

Yes but bluedrake uploaded before activision, and then again is activision making money from a game that they didnt make. If it becomes available ill definitly buy it on steam but right now ill go on with the downloaded version :) And for the legal stuff, well i dont support piracy but im not sure what to think of these games.

Just because it isn't available doesn't mean anyone else can automatically distribute it

Exceptional game, if you've not played it you owe it to yourself to check it out!

I still play them outside of Steam with the original SWAT 4 + The Stetchkov Syndicate disks.
And there are on moddb some nice mods and maps to be found for them.

Activision
I'll just wait a few months for a cheaper steam release.

Nice to see activision bringing back the oldies, it will be probably on Steam too soon then.

Developers not likely since they are usually not paid per unit sold, they were paid a salary to develop the game. The $ would be paid to whoever owns the distribution rights of the property. Most likely EA (or whoever bought out the dev) if what was said above is correct.

Truth: I never heard of this series until 2010...and still never played them.
