It does utilise another site to get a game , but in the same way a guest would play a game on a site.

Thats entirely possible , but it is a way for people to get games for FREE and not get charged like most of the other places that promise games and then try to charge, so it would only be polite to ask the owner before downloading.

1 person downloading a game is the same bandwidth as 1 person playing a game. If a site cant handle the bandwidth of a person playing a game , then the site shouldnt have an arcade on it.

I could write a section into the script that auto mails the owner of the site the games are being taken from to thank them for the game, but it wont make much difference in the end if people want to abuse it.

I would feel that i have shared games that i didnt own in the first place and helped out others with no personal benifit to be gained from it. (also 30 games x 85 pages = 2550 games )

I dont see how this would be the best way ? That would limit the choice that people had in getting games and reduce the effectiveness of the script for people to get free games and never have to pay people offering 500 games at a cost.

And yes i mean steal games from as it will be used without the site owner knowing.

If the site owner has permissions to use a game on a site then its usually a global permission to use that game on any site unless the owner of the site writes the games. If there is no permssions to use that game , then that site owner shouldnt have the game up in the first place , so where does the morality begin and end ?
