The longer we wait, the higher of a risk there is of games being lost. Some games are already very rare, and if we decide to wait until as late as possible, they may already be lost. There are retro games that still haven't been dumped yet, and if we waited until 2060 or whatever, it'll probably be too late. That's why we should start as soon as possible.

So every game should be ripped at launch or else we risk losing games? Can you give an example of a game that was lost because it wasn't copied to a harddrive within five years of release? More importantly, can you give an example of a *good* game that was lost due to not being copied within five years of release?

Here's a list I found right here:

And the question of whether or not the games are good, is irrelevant.
