I understand the value of preserving our digital heritage (hell, I still play games from 1982 and share the love for them with millennials), but we do have some other issues to worry about in southern Europe.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it is possible to work for progress on multiple issues at once, right?
True, but you do have to prioritize your battles.
I repeat: I understand the importance of preserving our digital legacy.
I am not going to fault the person spearheading this effort for putting time and resources into an issue they are passionate about. Feel free to do the same.

Don't assume game preservation is something that I don't value.

Brother its literally a number and your name that you enter on a website. Its literally 1 minute. And as someone who used to live in the now POOREST eu nation, its not that hard to do. Id even argue that for a lot of people video games are an escape here so it helps if they can spend their few days worth of pay on a game and then actually being able to play it without the publisher shutting it off for some stupid ass reason.
Ok, ok, you win. I've signed it.

I regret that I only have one upvote to give.
You can have mine. There, I upvoted his comment for you.
You are right about that.
