Preserve Gaming History, and Combat Piracy by continuing to sell "new" retro video games


Preserve Gaming History, and Combat Piracy by continuing to sell "new" retro video games
The Issue
To: Major Game Companies and Industry Leaders
We, the undersigned, are passionate gamers who believe that the rich gaming history of the past deserves to be preserved and made accessible to new generations of gamers. We are writing to urge you to continue selling retro games from iconic consoles such as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Snes), Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, and other classic systems.
Retro games have become increasingly rare and expensive to collect, making them out of reach for many enthusiasts. As a result, many gamers are missing out on the opportunity to experience and enjoy the classics that have shaped the gaming industry.
By continuing to sell retro games, you will not only generate revenue but also:
- Preserve gaming history and culture for future generations
Allow new gamers to discover and enjoy the classics that have inspired the industry
Provide a nostalgic experience for gamers who have fond memories of playing these games in their youth
Support the growth of the gaming community by making these games accessible to a wider audience
Combat piracy by providing a legitimate and affordable way for gamers to access these classic titles
Piracy is a major issue in the gaming industry, and it's often fuelled by the lack of availability and high prices of retro games. By making these games available through digital platforms, you can: - Reduce the demand for pirated copies of retro games
Encourage gamers to purchase legitimate copies of these classic titles
Support the development of new games and services by providing a stable revenue stream
We urge you to: - Continue to release retro games through digital platforms such as eShop, Xbox Store, and PlayStation Store
Offer a wide range of retro games from various consoles, including those from smaller developers and indie titles
Provide affordable pricing options for retro games, making them accessible to a broader audience
Consider partnering with collectors and enthusiasts to source rare and hard-to-find games
Make efforts to educate gamers about the importance of buying legitimate copies of retro games and the risks associated with piracy
By supporting the continued sale of retro games, you will not only generate revenue but also contribute to the preservation of gaming history and culture, while also combating piracy.
Sign this petition to show your support for preserving gaming history, making retro games accessible to new generations of gamers, and combating piracy in the gaming industry.
