You have no idea.
An entire batch of historians is freaking out whenever a game is becoming unplayable for whatever reason and the code isn't properly preserved. They are fighting for years to force Video game companies to safeguard the code for future generations, with little avail so far.
They are also behind the archive.org DOS games page where you can download and play old DOS games in your browser in an effort to preserve DOS games:
