i mean, software preservation in particular is interesting because besides emulation, most software can only be truly experienced on one type of hardware unlike things such as movies which can be stored in many different formats and played on various devices made throughout time. i think it's certainly important considering how personal even the most niche games can be to the people who played them. i assume most of us, even people who don't really play games that often, have at least one game that nobody really talks about that you remember fondly, and i think games like that are the reason software preservation is important. its just a shame that companies dont understand this enough even nowadays.
