Not nearly on the same level, but reminds me of the Apollo 11 missing tapes. Historical data that’s just lost out of negligence. Chances are pirates have saved these games somewhere deep in the cockles of the intranets. Pirates are really just digital archivists, preserving information for future generations.

I don't think the games themselves missing is the problem, it's probably the source code they want

Pirates would preserve that too, if they had the opportunity.
