    I guess it's allowed, then. I'll download the files and see if they work.

    Its likely not allowed and a think to remember is that piracy is a federal crime atleast in the United States.

    well i mean if the creator owns the game then its fine for just him to look back at it and not for the general public to download.

    You can get some from steam

    BeamNG > settings > betas > choose any older version. No beta is the latest version. Will require update

    Steam ones are 3 plus the current version. They are free to use and will not give you a fine or anything

    With the beamng staff on holiday, we'll have to wait until 2024 for an answer, I think.

    I am going to say that its not allowed, by right that is piracy whoever uploaded that is going to get a request from BeamNG to remove it...

    I'm confused.. In what world is it a good idea to show yourself pirating a game on the forum of said game.. I don't understand the logic behind this one, it's a little confusing.
    Anyways, no. Pirating is not allowed, and is in fact illegal.

    I agree. Having the older versions on the beta would be nice. I sometimes like to go back to older versions of the game to just see how far the game has progressed. I can get older versions via BeamNG.Tech, but it doesn't have all of them. I think it's up to 0.21? I could be wrong.
