       It really wasn't until the 90s that we set up any sort of real systems of preservation for video game source code.Yet we still insist that we should legally treat games like film and text. The vast majority of the history of this medium will exist only in the illegally distributed copies that remain after the official channels dry up.Piracy is possibly one of the most positively impactful actions you can take for the medium as a whole.

       @IrickI wish there was something like a expire date for software.After a certain amount of time the software becomes opensource/free/public domain. Impossible I know.But I can dream...
