Message: [QUOTE="iisoide, post: 211531, member: 614323"] Sure GOG itself doesn't preserve the games, but the fact that they are DRM free means that they can be shared around without restriction if necessary and in doing so keeping them alive instead of becoming lost media like most live service games will inevitably become, and I think that's why it's so important. For me personally it's not fake concern. Online game stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, EA Play etc. will eventually shut down one day and with that so will your temporary license of the game as you don't truly own the game. That's why preservation is important. To keep games alive for the next generation, and then the next, etc. I wouldn't have been able to play so many amazing games from before I was born if it wasn't for people preserving the ROMs of these older games, and I'm extremely thankful for that because it gave me such a great insight on how games have developed over time too as well as broadening my horizons on the types of games that i enjoy.
