Ie 1) It's for research
2) Check that a game isn't still under copyright in your country before downloading. Just because it's available in the US doesn't mean it's legal to copy here.

Strange that PC Gamer / Verge / Engadget coverage didn't mention anything like that in their articles and just went GO PLAY GUYS! Would of thought it would of been a bit more obvious from them.
