This doesn't even make sense. You can still buy old games physically on Ebay, and you can also emulate them.
Back in 2010, nobody was saying that games from the 80's were "endangered", because it was understood that video games are generally enjoyed through physical copies or emulation. But now that everyone is used to buying games digitally, suddenly those old games are "endangered" now? It makes no sense.
