How Will Games Be Preserved? | Capturing the Frozen Flame
908In light of publishers obstructing our access to their old video games, we take a step back and look at the long term for our present. How long does a game last? Should we truly rely on physical media? Who decides what games are worthy enough to keep around? What happens to the games that fall in between the cracks? And most importantly, how are our feelings around the matter being exploited?

BONUSMEME:
One day Minecraft will be lost to time, and no one will remember the old relic Fortnite. Can you imagine that? Me neither, but it is true. Anyway, what I wanted to say is basically that people should remember that we need to preserve all video games, not just the ones that are widely seen as worthwhile and good. That includes mobile games for example, which commonly have been seen as just random bullshit games by a lot of gamers. That doesn't matter, we need to save AFK Arena wether you like it or not. About that – did you know that Markiplier was in that freaking game? Yeah, and he was basically a character giving you what can basically be called lootboxes. He even had his dog with him! Like, fine if he wants to do that himself, but the dog can't even decide for itself. Feels kind of mean if you ask me.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chocobo tower, because we sure did.
