mike_cesara: Both, and [url=http://www.chip.de/downloads/Grand-Theft-Auto-GTA-2_13015291.html]GTA 2 are still available for download in many places. Unless Chip.de is an abandonware site..
According to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_commercial_video_games_released_as_freeware#A_Bunch_of_Controversies.21]Wikipedia[/url], the Rockstar Classics site had a notice saying "PLEASE NOTE that while this game may be downloaded for free by all who register by filling out the form on this page, it is NOT freeware and may not be mirrored or duplicated by any third parties without express written consent from Rockstar Games." So, they never were freeware, just a limited time offer from Rockstar.
