Not a graphics guy so I have nothing beyond that Tracy is cool, but I think this is a good argument for open sourcing games when they've reached a certain age.

I'm 20, so not that old, and I do load up and old game just to be a bit nostalgic sometimes, will I be able to do that when I'm 40 or 50? It's easy to think that the answer is yes because you can get emulators for games from the past, but games now have so many moving parts (and DRM unfortunately).
- kingcharles 5y agoI'd love to see the source for old games, and as an ex-game dev I've often wondered about this, but most game code seems to disappear into a black hole. Game studios come and go like the wind, and when they do, where does all their data go?
