Leave it to Gamesindustry.biz to conflate "preserved" with "in commercial circulation".

The entire article bends over backwards to present "people having drm-free digital copies of the game" as not being an option, to the point where, as Redkey mentions elsewhere in this thread, GoG doesn't even come up when one game sold on there is framed as being "lost".

Even the guy who wants old games freely playable will only go as far as saying they should be playable "online".
