All your favorite classic games are ‘critically endangered’ and could soon be unplayable
87 percent of your favorite video games are likely to become unplayable in due time, according to studies by The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) and the Software Preservation Network (SPN). Researchers called older video games “critically endangered” and pointed to a lack of accessibility for titles past their prime, and they aim to fix it.
Currently, all titles purchasable on the market make up 13 percent of all video games ever created. All other video games throughout history have either become distant memories or require things like emulators to get on screens. This led researchers to call for a change in “outdated” copyright legislation in the July 10, 2023 study.
