Who wants to admit that there are a whole hell of a lot of bad classic games?

[–] dunestorm 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't preserve them just the same.

[–] Hazdaz 3 points 1 year ago

I mean sure, preserve them. But that's like saying we should be preserving poorly written trashy romance novels. I guess we could, but shouldn't be a top priority for anyone.
