Phil SalvadorWe just dropped a big new study that proves that almost 9 out of 10 classic games are out of print, and it's not gonna get better.
Libraries/archives need more exemptions to close the game preservation gap! https://gamehistory.org/87percent/
Maddy Waves [Alter Account]@shadsy I don't know if it's possible, but if we do introduce archives for classic games like you suggested (which I think is a great idea!), I'd love it if we could use this opportunity to make games that only have been released in certain regions (e.g. Japan exclusive games) available to the public. Since these games usually have no English translation, this would also mean giving people freedom to edit the ROM (so they can mod/hack it) - if we could achieve that, I'd be terribly happy.
