I'm differentiating between products like Pokemon and services like Nintendo running servers that let you trade Pokemon.
Both should ideally be preserved of course, but today's reality is that it's much less feasible with the aforementioned services.
How can we change that?
Then what do we do with these games? How do we discourage live service games?
Are you boycotting them?
More effort by whom? And how do we incentivize it?
You didn't answer my first question, and misunderstood the second.
Who do you expect to do the preserving? And how will you get them to do it?
I can't get to my point if you keep skirting around it.
How will you get profit-driven studios to care about preservation?
Well, you're here seemingly not realizing why studios don't give a shit about preservation. As we can observe in the real world, the branding opportunities and PR are not worth it to them 99% of the time.
Satellaview games are a prime example! So much lost content!
