The Video Game History Foundation stated their regret over the US Copyright Office's refusal to grant a DMCA exemption for preserving rare video games, asserting their continued advocacy.
Despite facing opposition from the Entertainment Software Association, the VGHF remains steadfast in its support of the Software Preservation Network's petition, highlighting the difficulty researchers face accessing out-of-print games.
The VGHF emphasized that researchers are often forced to utilize 'extra-legal methods' due to the lack of legal avenues to access rare games, underlining the urgency of their cause.
The VGHF called on the game industry to support their mission, showcasing a commitment to preserve video games for future generations despite the challenges presented by copyright laws.
