 15 years ago, this was a very different situation, and the site thrived and was even host to the first ever Minecraft competition online, offering, in conjunction with Markus Persson aka Notch, free keys for premium versions for winning entries.This marked decrease can be attributed to the increase in online distributors such as GOG.com and publishers who maintain the IP rights for this software, updating and packaging the software in a "user friendly" format, for a comparatively low price for the privilege of "golden era" gaming, DRM free (of which many of these abandonware games on offer were not, or used old cracks and were not optimised for play on modern machines - provided "as is" with no support).Abandonia currently averages a total of 3 pageviews per visitor (1 landing, 1 "not available", 1 referral to GOG.com), an average of 2 minutes on site and a 58.1% bouncerate, likely from the number of adverts causing such long loading times, or the continuous [DDOS] attacks that have plagued the site for the past years.
