Ethan Lee has been keeping your favorite indie games running for years by porting them to Linux. Now he wants developers to start thinking about “maintenance” instead of “remasters.”
If there is an old game you really love, i think you might be able to increase the chances of it getting preserved by asking the developer to open source the engine, he can still sell it and get the work done for porting it to modern platforms for free.
Porting a closed source game seems a lot more resource intensive so less of those will be done.
