Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation
The US copyright office has denied a request for a DMCA exemption that would allow libraries to share digital access to preserved video games. The exemption would open up the possibility of a digital library where historians and researchers could 'check out' digital games that run through emulators. The VGHF argues that around 87% of all video games released in the US before 2010 are now out of print. ποΈπ€

Balatro Dev Calls Out PEGI For βReal Gamblingβ Rating Hypocrisy Vs. EA Sports FC
PEGI, short for Pan-European Game Information, is a European rating system dedicated entirely to video games. Games that depict gambling can be hit with these age ratings. Balatro is not a gambling game, and it has no microtransactions. It uses poker hands as a gameplay mechanic, but the game is substantially a roguelike deck-builder. ποΈπ€

60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows
Newzooβs data shows that the top 10 games on each platform are filled with old, established titles. Fortnite took the crown on all platforms, including Switch and PC. Of the 23 percent of playtime spent in 2023 on new games, more than half was spent in big annual sequels like the latest Madden or NBA game. ποΈπ€
