The US copyright office has denied a request for a DMCA exemption that would allow libraries to remotely share digital access to preserved video games.

Damn, can't check out Leisure Suit Larry or Beat-em and Eat-em from my local library anymore because of "woke."

It's not even that they want to make a profit off of old games. What they want is players to spend all their time in the new slop and if they can spend time playing retro games instead that would be a loss. Of course that's not realistic because treat addict g@mers and retro passionates aren't really overlapping but the suits don't know that they think there is one unique video games market

Not to mention all the remakes game companies are churning out. I don't think people would be as eager to buy them if the originals are accessible.
