@sanderev You're right. But any steps towards access, ownership and preservation of games should IMO be fully supported.
Gaming keeps on getting fewer and fewer physical releases, getting more and more dependent on online servers to function and publishers cementing the fact that "f*ck you, it's just a license, you don't own anything and we can take away access at our leisure".
But when I look at the amount of consumers going to bat for ***** business practices. Protecting their favourite multi billion company like it's a family member, it just confuses and baffles me to no end.
In the end it seems like, even if gaming has become more mainstream, it is still not taken seriously as an creative entertainment medium of any value. Guess we'll be stuck in the "toy section" for the foreseeable future.

That people are arguing against the preservation of games is quite telling. I don't know if I should laugh or cry. 🤷♂️

I'm just waiting for a dual-screen machine with good ergonomics, this doesn't seem to be it but hopefully this will pave the way for more options. 👍
