That's all I want. I know games age really fast whereas other media (books, music, movies) are more timeless. I'd love for games to reach a point where they aren't lost to the passing of time because the hardware that runs it became obsolete.
I'm pretty much full digital these days. It's cool to see some of my digital purchases from long ago still available on my current gen stuff. Anyway, I'm rambling. Gotta get up for work in a few hours. Have a good night!

Old games are remade or made available for new systems as well. Far from all, yet also far from all VHS tapes have been transferred to DVD. Many of my favorite childhood tv shows are nowhere to be found.
Full digital is a solution as long as old file formats keep being supported. Even though I have some of my old dos games, there are always issues trying to run one.
Anyway I'm rambling as well. Just played an apparent ps1 game in VR (some pirate game, can't look up the name as I'm getting access denied atm on psn), and an Apollo 11 mission documentary with textures for moon and earth from the sixties as well by the look of it. Kind of an immersion breaker when you're floating over a giant pixelated earth.
