Vanishing act: 87% of classic video games are no longer available commercially | The disappearance of classic video games - LemmyWorld

That probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise to retro gaming enthusiasts, but those outside the gaming community might not even know there is a problem…

Is there no sort of common property library of video games?

I feel like after 20 years a video game should become common property for people to download and enjoy for free.

Should also add an addendum where if the developer and/or publisher goes out of business, that should also apply.

They certainly won’t be making any money off it afterwards.
