## Publishing Philosophy
Unlike commercial publishers, AGD Interactive operates as a non-profit organization, releasing all of their remakes for free.[^ref-3][^ref-8][^ref-13] This approach allows them to maintain creative independence while avoiding licensing complexities that would arise with commercial development.[^ref-4][^ref-9][^ref-14] Their games are distributed directly through their website and various abandonware/freeware archives.[^ref-5][^ref-10][^ref-15]
