Keep the games online.

GitHub and other hosts have been removing legal projects. Since the end of October, 62 games in Decomp Buddy have disappeared that way, and every time it happens the download is gone for everyone.

So we're hosting the files ourselves, so they can't be removed: every game, its newest version and its older ones, kept in two places with two different companies, with new versions added every hour. That's a massive undertaking, and storage isn't free.

Nobody here takes a cent of this. Every cent donated goes to hosting the games.

Decomp Buddy stays free whether or not you ever donate. If you do, it keeps the games online for everyone.

Where It Actually Goes

The Main Copy

Every game's files, stored where Decomp Buddy and this website download them from.

The Backup Copy

A second copy with a different company, so one problem can't take the games down.

The Older Versions

So when a new release breaks something, you can still go back to the one that worked.

Room To Grow

New games are found and added every day, and every one of them needs space.

Please Don't, If…

  • money is tight. It is for a lot of people right now.
  • it isn't your money to give.
  • you feel even slightly obliged. That's the opposite of the point.
