I have a lot of faith in the premise that 20 years from now, Valve will still be around and Steam will still be, if not a thriving platform, at least a decent archive. I have zero faith that some Tohufag with a 39.95$ 5000 megabyte-per-month bandwidth hosting service will still be mirroring shittyschmup.exe in 20 years.
1. Even if Valve is still in business twenty years from now, it most assuredly won't be the same Valve you know and love - if only because the people responsible for making it what it is will have all retired or moved on. For an example, compare the Origin of 1991 with the Origin of today. Who would have suspected Lord British was capable of such treachery?!
2. The advantage of DRMless downloads is that anyfuckingbody can host them. Irem may be going out of business as we speak, but I'll wager everyone reading this sentence has a zip file containing the R-Type ROMs on at least ONE of their devices. Some of us probably have them on everything we own. If nothing else, you'll probably still be able to get copies of shittyschmup.exe from http://MischiefMakersVintagePornoWarehouse.museum |
