With a lot of companies no longer doing physical games, then would that give rise to more Piracy?
Probably about the same. People always find a way.
How will video game preservation work then?
Games are just data, whether physical or digital. What gets lost is the servers for online functionality an such.

“What gets lost is the servers for online functionality an such.” nope, not at all, modern game preservation is a legal challenge because shareholder would rather have them destroyed forever when it’s not profitable than breaking DRM protection, opening the source code, or simply allowing the data to be saved by third parties.
