my thoughts (in white notepad) to two posts (on the right in dark)
I think games have always been a mix of derivative and more original work (e.g. if you play action rpgs from the 80s.. some are less inspired than others. 

Certainly there's tons of games coming out today that are inspired by life experience - just like Pikmin or Zelda were. And I think it's worth noting that Pikmin and Zelda were *also* made because of the success of 90s PC RTSs, or 80s Adventure Action RPGs -not only directorial life experiences. (And it's also worth noting that even with lots of life experiences, a total lack of game design thinking/experience can lead to a game that is kind of flat, perfunctory, or like a less-vital version of another medium - one needs both)

The other thing is that 'artistic experience' in a game today will inherently look different from the 80s/90s since the economic conditions are different. If one wants to, they could pine endlessly over (Insert 90s/80s game here) never coming back. But I think this kind of thinking is counterproductive, rather, one should look to what's uniquely valuable about the current historical moment since it's impossible to recreate e.g. "Sega of the 90s" or "Sierra of the 80s" etc.The two posts I am replying to

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.
​A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The main post is a quote tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads:
​"Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you! ❤️"
​Rowling is quote-tweeting a user named Lesbian Lenin 🇵🇸 🔻 🇵🇸 (@xstaffsuck), whose post reads:
​"The report btw, documenting how TERF orgs work hand in hand w/ anti-abortionists, christian nationalists, & anti-LGBT+ (yes, you too, c*s queers!) orgs to push trans genocide
​To be anti-trans is to be anti-abortion, is to be a christian nazi, is to be anti-queer
​Report is below"
​The user @xstaffsuck is, in turn, quoting an earlier tweet from J.K. Rowling, which reads:
​"Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Apologies, we for got the alt text! Here it is.
This is unfortunate news for those who still prefer buying games on physical media, and is certainly a hit to consumer rights, the resale market, and game creators whose businesses rely on the physical market. But from the perspective of professional preservationists, this doesn't have as much of an impact as you might expect.

The reality is that the vast majority of video games produced over the last two decades were not made for dedicated home video game consoles, let alone pressed to physical media. And even when they were released on physical media, a day-one digital patch was all but guaranteed, meaning that even though a disc is preserving data in an accessible way, it may not represent the game that people actually played. Museums and archives have been preparing for this future for a while, with the expectation that putting discs on a shelf isn't going to be a long-term solution for preserving new games.

What continues to baffle us is what the industry expects institutions like ours to do about it. If platform owners are deciding to eliminate physical media and older digital storefronts, then we'd also like to see trade groups like the Entertainment Software Association offer meaningful solutions for archives and museums to legally preserve digital-only content and make it accessible for research. Everyone agrees this is a serious problem, but the ESA has repeatedly opposed the efforts of cultural heritage institutions to reform digital copy protection laws to make it easier to do this work. The industry needs to meaningfully come to the table on this issue, because asking museums to download a copy of Grand Theft Auto VI and hope it'll run in 50 years is not a preservation solution.
