Why the Game Archives Matter
Now in the days of digital when new games release nearly daily it is easy to forget where gaming got its start. Gaming has changed a lot since the pixelated worlds of the 80s to which we play in today with stunning displays and advanced environments rendered in full 3D. The Game Archives are a necessary place to document this journey, revisiting retro games, consoles and stories.
A big part of why the Game Archives is so important; it connects older generations with their childhood and newer gamers can understand where a series started (HttpStatus Japan). One major appeal of re-releases like this is that it offers a chance for the older generations to relive some nostalgia playing games they grew up on while newer gens can play classics and see where modern gaming began.

- Digital Preservation preserving digital information is a difficult problem to solve due to several challenges.
While The Game Archives is on a mission to save as much history in gaming possible, issues related to digital preservation exist. The digitization era has created a plethora of games that seem destined to be forgotten and lost in time without proper archival efforts, mainly due to the rise of digital-only games and downloadable content (DLC). The Game Archives are constantly working with developers and publishers to secure the archiving of even digital-only games for at least as long.
There is also the murky issue of emulation and how closed off publishers can be when attempting to save games that they view do not offer them any commercial benefit.
