Ethan Lee has been keeping your favorite indie games running for years by porting them to Linux. Now he wants developers to start thinking about “maintenance” instead of “remasters.”
Although I sometimes question the purpose of preserving the past, I really respect people who put in the effort to make something timeless. A time capsule for the future to study an irrelevant and forgotten past.
Those games are hardly irrelevant or distant past. I’ve enjoyed a lot of them in the humble bundles and I still play some others. The fact that he was also porting them to Linux is fantastic.
It’s a lot and honest work!
