I’d really like to see an improvement through copyright reform. Copyright periods are already ridiculously too long, but after a game runs its financial course, I think everyone should be free to do with it as they please. At a fundamental level, wasn’t this the intent of a functional copyright system? Is it not the intent to allow the creator to benefit while balancing the value against social good?
Yes exactly. These companies hold rights for far too long in the hopes they can "milk that cow" at any chance they have. The products of these (and many others) companies are electronic waste for many after a while and so normal copyright laws shouldn't hold for them, it's just too wasteful.
