The agreement wasn’t made with the Internet Archive but with OldUnreal so that they can distribute an installer that automatically downloads the games.
But hopefully it can be expanded to the later games as well.
Comment on Epic Games is officially cool with the Internet Archive preserving early Unreal games

Why the hell aren’t UT2004 and UT3 in there as well?

In the Epic Games Store? They removed them some time ago. Not sure why.

I know that. I mean why are they not part of this agreement with the Internet Archive.

Hmm it also got pulled from gog.
UT2004 Onslaught is still the best game mode ever btw. Haven’t played in a long while but like ten years ago there were still a good number of servers around. Not enough players for the big maps, though, those need like 20 people per team.
