Van Gogh was never really financially successful during his lifetime. It shouldn't really be up to us to decide if it's good or bad for all time. I agree that art should be preserved. But, I'm also a data hoarder lol
In the case of games, this is doubly problematic due to patches and updates. People can still play Fortnite and Overwatch today, but they can no longer play those games as they were in 2018. Anyone that never played previous versions can only read changelogs to get an idea of what changed and when.
the Holocaust could have been averted if Hitler was allowed to be an artist, even though he wasn't very good at it by the standards of his contemporaries.
