Game makers that sell new games that aren't completed (DLC) with DAY 1 launch problems being not only expected but usually the only way a game gets media attention these days is catastrophic launch.

Someone's got to do something about these fucking chicken shit publishers. I think it's time for the industry to move on without them. Everything can be self published now. We have the technology.
Music publishers have been obsolete for two decades but they're still around. Don't need to provide a service when you have enough money to write the laws.
the plastic cases dont need preserving, just the data.
Simple solution: Just lend people games that aren't any fun
They're right though. Those archived games would definitely be played... For fun. The problem is that even though the graphics aren't as good, a lot of older games were fun and had great replayability. Eventually, there will be such a big historical catalog of games that people will be able to enjoy just legacy games without ever buying new ones.
The solution is simple: have some non-profit org manage the historical catalog, sell the old games super cheap, and send that way whoever holds the rights can still get profits off the old games. They could even give you different download options like game-only, or game in a VM that is guaranteed to actually be able to run the game.
