Message: [QUOTE="nobitakun, post: 211050, member: 56864"] For me the term "dungeon crawler" sounds funny. It's like you're describing 90% of the RPG's in one genre, because more or less most of them you eventually go to a dungeon and crawl around. The only games I consider in this genre are Etrian Odyssey and the games alike. But even so, I feel strange with that name. It's like I was saying games in the genre "monster killing". What does that mean? and what is considered a monster? lol. Every time I hear about game preservation I feel the same: [B]it's not company's duty to preserve a game[/B], because technology brought the tools to users to do so. I am not talking about games as a service, I am talking about anything that can work off the disk or you have digitally outside the default vendor enclosure. MMO's are a complete different story that needs to be addressed in a different way. After the years, we have been told that piracy is bad, and in fact it is, but only because there are a bunch of people in internet that their duty is just to spend money in a GPU or console, then download everything and play for free without spending a penny in software. Even that could be considered preservation, but those do not aim for that, as they are going to delete the game once they finish it. Preservation means, you buy a game when it's released, play it, then keep it safe from everything until the end of time. Discs will eventually rot, that's a fact, but the digital information inside can live forever. If the task is done correctly, people from 1000 years in the future will be able to turn on your console, and load a digital backup, if USB ports are a thing, for instance. But you would be surprised how long a physical media can last if you are paranoid enough to protect it as much as possible, with for instance, vaccuum packing it. [/QUOTE]
