Questions from Patreon Part 46 - Your Favorite Games May Not Be Playable in Ten Years

You can send in questions by messaging my on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/SebastianSB/ Patrick Reed: What is your view on video game presivation? Before the advent of the PS3/360 consoles, We could play old games made over 15 years ago via emulation. With games now having an online component, and servers will not be maintained forever, which means we will not be able to play those games in the intended way in the future. Even Soul's servers on different platforms will most likly be shutdown at somepoint. And now with the news of telltale's minecraft not only removing minecraft story mode from stores, they are now removing the ability of people being able to redownload the game from servers in June. It casts a grim future of being able to play the games of the last 5 years (online and dlc content) in about 10 - 15 years. 1:00:25 Sathe: What would be the worst way to die in your opinion?

steam have a promise that they still mention from time to time though. It is a promise that the games in your steam library will still be downloadable and in extention patched to work without steam. Most steam games have an offline mode as well allready built in unless you for the multiplayer ones. Those will die but singleplayer for most part keeps being around.
