Hardware prices are weird. From what I follow and followed of companies like GOG and ZP, older games usually have their source codes lost because storage was way too expensive and so older code versions were deleted, that around the 80’s~90’s. And observing cycles, I also notice one where storage becomes cheaper and holding more data with the same space, followed by big industry players kicking the bucket about storage optimization, then rinse and repeat. But now at least, I feel like there’s potential for it to be mitigated, as everyone with access to a forum or some other form of social media has the potential to give their opinions, including regarding this ups and downs cycle, and so reverberating even in those that in decades prior could not even notice the tendency.
