The Video Game History Foundation's fight for game preservation isn't over

However, the VGHF continued by saying it won't back down and will continue advocating for improved video game preservation. For some context, the VGHF had been a longtime supporter of the Software Preservation Network's (SPN) petition to receive a DMCA exemption for the sake of preserving video games, especially for researchers who need access to them and can't do so due to unavailability. As the only currently legal way is to get a legitimate hard or soft copy of the game and play it on its corresponding console, researchers are encountering difficulties in progressing in their studies. Piracy would be illegal, of course, which is why the SPN is fighting for an exemption. However, there are those who don't see things this way.
