#34: Artificial Gaming Preservatives

The SideQuesting Podcast

Eric has a couple of tiny mistakes to clean up at the start of this episode of the SideQuesting Podcast, leading off with brief updates on Metroid Dread and Sora launching in Smash Bros. Then, Rockstar is pulling down their GTA trilogy on Steam to prepare for the imminent launch of their remastered/remade trilogy. Is this setting a dangerous precedent in gaming? Eric rambles and wonders what the future of gaming preservation looks like in a landscape where collector fever and companies looking to cash in on nostalgia are making access to old games harder than ever.
