I "blame" them for marketing themselves as a "Preservation Program" when they really aren't doing anything more than the other stores (in that regard. They are doing amazing work in modernizing some titles... which is arguably not preservation either but that is a different mess).

It's not McDonald's responsibility to store large amounts of data either*. So does that mean Ronny Mac should be talking about how buying a twenty dollar Big Mac is preserving video games?

*: also.. it kind of IS GoG's responsibility in this case but that only lasts until the company/site is shuttered. Which is another issue with GoG being about "preservation" when their first responsibility is to make money for CDP.
