This makes me wonder: How will today's games be preserved in a collection like this? I'm sure the DRM servers for games like Assassin's Creed won't be maintained for more than another decade, if that. Then, you have all kinds of PC games with limited authorizations. Most people also have numerous digital games tied to their Steam / Origin / Amazon accounts. If any of those disappear, you could lose a big chunk of your collection. There's no way to pass those games on to anyone else even if the services are still around. It seems piracy is the only hope of preserving today's games for future generations.

Totally true, given the additional facts that a collector would pay a big amount for getting a mint piece of something he may have already, but in a bad shape. Plus, a lot of them are Japanese versions, which will appeal to those, who only have a USA version, after all, japanese voice-dubs are really world apart! I also found some pieces that I would pay a lot to have, but then again the problem is I can't have them individually. Maybe some gaming site or community or museum can pick this up?
