00:00With Sony driving a stake through the heart of physical games on console,
00:04a lot of people are wondering, how are we meant to preserve the classics now?
00:08Well, Frank Cifaldi, Video Game History Foundation founder, has an answer.
00:12It's pretty much just all down to piracy right now.
00:15Cifaldi responded to a Blue Sky poster who wrote that piracy is the only real form of game preservation right
00:22now,
00:22declaring this is accurate.
00:24We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward,
00:29but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
00:32The Entertainment Software Association has repeatedly opposed the efforts of cultural heritage institutions
00:39to reform digital copy protection laws to make it easier to do this work.
00:44So, I guess until rights holders start giving a damn about their history,
00:47we all have to keep a torrent client installed.
