Really? This might be true for multiplayer games (though people still play Counter Strike 1.6 I guess) to some extend but for single player games I don't see how they are transient. Most of the games I play are ten years or older. Admittedly lots of games that I never got around playing as a child. Also, retro gaming is huge. With gog.com it is pretty easy to play old game⌊. Though many more modern games might get lost forever because they require access to certain servers. We need legislation that forces publishers to open source games including the server-side code once they stop supporting them.
