Libraries' attempts and proposed plans for archiving older games don't strike a chord with the ESA, which still thinks it remains publishers' burden.

      Only the ones that don’t get cracked.

      Thankfully there’s a small army of anti-capitalist heroes preserving media through the era of corporate destruction of literally everything.
