I was excited to see the UT games on FlatHub, but they require the base installs. Why did they delist all Unreal games everywhere (but GoG)? Why not give them away and just let the players host the servers?

E: Yes, it's an AI made image, if Epic won't put the minimal effort to preserve their games, why should I for a disposable meme?

Spoof of the original Unreal box art, but saying Fortnite instead.

In a rare Epic win that is exactly what they did. You have official permission to get them from archive.org. https://oldunreal.com/ helps you set up the old games and point the listing server to the community hosted one.

Apart from that community hosted servers have always been a thing with these games.
