Off course I already got affected by removing ability to purchase games, I wanted to buy when they get cheap. Now I cannot anymore (at least certain games on Steam). These affect me personally. What's so hard to understand that the game in this post does not affect me personally and I do not care about this game on a personal level? I don't have to care about every game.
I am however for archival of the game to preserve it for the future (not by the company, but more like we play Roms in emulators or install old Windows games from Abandonware site). Preservation is important and I do not discriminate there. But I do not care if pseudo games sold as a game for money. I do not see a value in buying this "media" in tricking people its a game. Those who have it do not lose access anyway.
