When preserving culture is criminal, or punishable, ya might want to reevaluate your laws

Or, don’t treat it like culture but slop to be consumed and discarded. If law is not there, put pressure on publishers to release games under licensing that allows preservation after predetermined amount of time. Maybe make slop ineligible for game awards and remove it from review aggregators. There are ways I’m sure.

…Who am I kidding, nobody is going to do because it would require too much cooperation and people are selfish.
