Baller move from the devs. I wish we lived in a world where the source code of older games were all released and freely available for non-commercial uses.

I really wish games would just become free to download after it's abandoned. You don't see many movies or CDs that just disappear. But games do. A lot come back, but a lot of them just don't ever get re-released.

There are a few PS1 games that I would happily purchase on my PS5. But if it's not available, then I should be able to legally and conveniently emulate on my phone or computer.
