Reinhard von Hennigs discusses the importance of preserving digital video game heritage in an era of rapid technological advancement.
According to a Video Game History Foundation study, 87% of games released before 2010 are not commercially available, leading to cultural loss and potential legal challenges. Companies like Nintendo have tried to re-release older titles on newer systems, but these efforts are limited.
Significant legal issues surround intellectual property rights, licensing agreements, and jurisdictional questions related to digital preservation. The need for collective agreements to create and use game libraries is emphasized.
Reinhard draws parallels between the gaming industry and global business innovation, suggesting that companies balance tradition with innovation to maintain their core values while progressing forward.
