(or, at least Bethesda had a certain website that hosted many game manuals take down all the gamesas ones).
Which is odd to me... To date, Bethesda remains the glaring exception to the rule; every other publisher has been fine with it, and they'd even acquired EXPLICIT permission from Blizzard to host manuals from Blizzard's games. I personally wonder what the justification for this is. It's almost like gamesas doesn't WANT people to learn about the older games.
