That is irrelevant. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Everything should be preserved. And given that games are a digital medium, it's probably one of the easiest to preserve.
- M_Grey 10y ago"Everything should be preserved." In what perfect world? In the real world, triage is a thing.
- prophesi 10y agoExcept that doesn't really apply here. If these servers weren't black-boxed, it'd be trivial to preserve them. But I understand why companies don't want this, however. Why would you want people playing your game for free on private servers instead of your own?
- goda90 10y agoOr, once they stop making money on a game, why would they want people playing it for free instead of playing their new games?
- pm90 10y agoBecause newer games are usually better in every way except one: nostalgia. Even though diablo 3 is available the only game I play regularly is diablo 2 despite its horrible graphics, simply because it brings back fond memories of childhood.
- Retric 10y agoWell D3 was terrible at release, so I disagree. Ok game, but you where zoomed in way to much.
- M_Grey 10y agoI finally bought the ultra Komplete GOTY whateverthefuckedition on sale for about $20. Now that it's a complete game, patched and fixed, I'm really enjoying it for that price point. Frankly, that is the secret to modern gaming... wait.

- M_Grey 10y agoYou still have to pay... and who's going to do that? I don't care about saving most of today's game for posterity, and most of the more notable and unique examples are not tied to something like Battlenet.
