Amen to that. That's why the preservation society that I'm part of (http://redump.org/) doesn't even bother with preserving games from the modern consoles. It's just far too messy, given that so many games-as-a-service titles are so heavily reliant on servers nowadays.

And all the "our license has expired, so fuck it " DLC and content, ugh.

Love redump though, I always verify my dumps with the ones on it (would love to contribute as well - I have Bulk Slash (Satakore ed.) for Saturn coming in - I noticed that that is not on redump ). I was really afraid of something so precious going away during the server trouble months.

Hey, I'm really glad you use our service. You may have verified some of the games that I've personally dumped myself, haha.

I think it's incredibly sad that future libraries 100 years from now will have the entire library of PS1 and PS2 games available for perusal once it all hits the public domain...but so many PS4/XBO/PC games will be either broken or lost to the sands of time. It's always depressed the hell out of me that so much of the early history of our art form will be lost....similar to 90% of the black-and-white movies from the 1890s-1920s that are now gone forever out of sheer neglect.
