Episode 177: Video Game Preservation and the Vimm's Lair Scare: Why is the Industry Killing its History?
Manage episode 424582874 series 1265314
Unlike film and book preservation, video games are always under attack; often, ironically, by their very makers. Once again, the ESA's cabal of Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and like-minded tyrants have united to strike down a ROM preservation website--this one being Vimm's Lair, an esteemed gaming curation destination brimming with the industry's storied past. What's more, it's one of the last. This episode examines the ramifications wrought by the greedy corporate machines who would destroy their history in exchange for profit and control...thereby erasing the art form's past and betraying its very future.
