The big one for me is: how do we preserve online games? The ones with a server-side component?
Even bnetd had issues, although I think that time is over; but what about when we the public never had access to the game core in the first place?

We need devs, like the maker of the Falcon 4 games to “leak” source code. Its the only reason the worlds premier combat flight sim run on a game released in the 90’s.
Should I be talking about a game that released the same year I was born? No. I’m so glad someone kept it all.
