   Bruh, I could've told you that without needing a big study
   
   I see what it's trying to do, but unless the end result is free access to rom or a universal site that sells roms as is and everyone is strong armed into participating whether they like it or not, then it's entirely pointless

     @coolboymew i wonder, if we preserve games that are abandonware... EXCEPT for nintendo games, we could erase nintendo from cultural history, since they won't be able to download their own roms they failed to preserve for rereleases

     @coolboymew a lot of this stuff is already lost media, in many cases with no way to recover it
     
     especially in like Japan where they were cranking it out by the truckload and their archive-fu has been notably weak for a long time
     
     never forget that Squeenix had to reverse-engineer the code and assets from the commercial release version of motherfucking Kingdom Hearts in order to make remasters because they lost the source materials for their biggest franchise ever
