So there's two thoughts on this, yes the games are preserved thankfully. But also, they are culturally lost. If people don't have easy access to creative works, those creative works become lost to all but the few who 1, even know they exist and 2, have the ability to aquire them

So yeah you and me, we can go grab images and emulators. I have a hacked wii and a retrotink. But that doesn't mean the games aren't lost to the vast vast majority
