From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

https://www.gog.com/en/gog-preservation-program direct link to GOG, because the link provided in the The Verge article is goskimresource that is blocked by my browser extension uMatrix. From the original articles FAQ at GOG:
Sad. How about supporting Linux? This would be the right direction to preserve games, as they are no longer tied to the Windows operating system. That's why I use Steam and do not buy on GOG.
The problem is it's a tiny fraction of games and users. It's a lot of resources for little gain.
This has nothing to do with current market share.
If you're trying to save as many games as possible and the vast majority are on windows it completely does.
