It also plays a very important role in the preservation of gaming's history, as evidenced by MAME's extraordinary efforts, for example. You certainly can't expect much in this area from publishers, either because of being organizations for profit, or because of having to deal with copyright limitations... |
Bolded: A very important aspect i think. Games are a form of art, and should not only be viewed from the aspect of a product. Archiving cultural roots is important. Thats the same as archiving old books, music and movies.
