By now, any serious gamer is familiar with a favorite title becoming unplayable after a centralized online server gets shut down, or being unable to purchase and download a digitally delisted, critically acclaimed title from yesteryear. Can anything be done about this video game preservation problem?
To help answer that question, we'll be hosting a live conversation with Ross Scott, the founder of the Stop Killing Games campaign, on August 11 at 2:30 pm ET as part of the Ars Live series. As Ars' Senior Gaming Editor, I've documented countless examples of once vibrant games being left for dead by their creators.
You can watch the discussion live on YouTube when the time comes.
