    It will probably be all online games eventually, excluding community run support of course. One day they’ll shut down the servers for Warframe, but you’ll still be able to boot up the original Quake and tear through the original 4 episodes

    Capitalism did it with film too. Priceless records destroyed so they could save a buck. Films from that age lost forever.

    Games luckily are insured against the kind of physical degradation of a reel of film. But there’s a parallel within modern history for what’s going on.

    And with games it gets extra funny because playing old games requires you to learn how they work which teaches you that valuable non-app computer experience they claim kids need while jamming an iPad into every hand.

    So uh “learn to code” or whatever. Dumbass system. Glad people are trying to save digital media.
