Here's a simple one: if a company doesn't want the burden of maintaining servers, don't make software that requires connecting to them to function.

Erm, so am I. Quite a few of aforementioned releases come packaged with emulators. The evercade is an emulator box.
People who pirate for free games will pirate regardless of whether emulation is used or not.

Quoting: Mountain ManQuoting: emphyExcept we're talking about emulators, which is something else entirely. More often than not, using emulators to "preserve" games is just a thinly veiled excuse to pirate software.Quoting: Mountain ManWhenever I hear people talk about "game preservation", it always sounds suspiciously like, "I want free games."Because, of course, no one ever spent anything on the re-releases on steam/gog or the evercade cartridges.

The age of cultural piracy, where big companies try to lock down human culture behind so-called "intellectual property" laws, is in full swing.
If you don't want future nostalgia be held hostage by such, do not play their games. They are much overhyped and overrated any ways.

Nowadays one should even be wary of github pages; there's been a recent spate of malicious forks of open source projects on github pretending to be the original. I.e.: verify whether one is visiting the genuine github page.
