Hiya
Not sure where this came from - not me for certain!
I'm not sure where this erroneous report came from - I've not spoken to EA about anything about Populous.
EA is a $3 billion company and retaining and owning intellectual property is one of their key missions. They have not yet in their history ever opened a game up to the public domain... so i think it's incredibly unlikely they will do this for Populous!
Sorry but the only way to buy copies of Populous is to look for originals at places like e-bay etc.
I know if must still be frustrating for fans - but if more people had bought it in the first place (rather than copying it) then this would probably be an entirely different situation...

PS I no longer work for EA so none of the above is EA sanctioned.
Thanks
