Have you heard of digital video game archives in America? That’s incredible! Groups of archivists work to preserve old games so they don’t disappear from history. This is especially important for those who appreciate retro games. But I don’t understand how these projects are funded and how much of an impact they have on society?

Another important thing is that games are not only entertainment, but also an art form. They can help us understand how design, music, and even storytelling have evolved. It's amazing that archivists manage to preserve all this before old technologies disappear completely. Personally, I think such archives should be supported by the state.
Yes, that’s an important topic. Video game archives are not just about preserving games, they’re about preserving an era. This article on Arcade Punks does a good job of describing how these archives are shaping America’s virtual history: https://www.arcadepunks.com/americas-virtual-history-the-rise-of-digital-game-archives/. How do they impact society? These projects help us see how games have influenced culture, technology, and even the economy. Additionally, preserving games digitally allows future generations to explore them for educational or research purposes. This can inspire people to develop new projects or ideas based on the past.
