Publishers Have Finally Said The Quiet Part Out Loud About Retro Games

In a recent move against the archiving of video game history, publishers have finally come clean on why they dislike retro games so much.This is an obviously awful and sad move culturally, but it will also affect people who will want to make games in the future.
Likewise with games. We all need access to the formative titles that have shaped the medium. They are the ‘required reading’ before you even step into the world of actually making games. These mid-tier games are what kept the medium alive and allowed it to flourish, simply because there was a greater amount of functional variety to cater to people’s disparate tastes.
