The importance of video game preservation is highlighted in the wake of recent industry events, such as the discontinuation of Concord and Sony's backing up of PS5 game builds. Amid concerns over lost games, Captain Blood, a pirate-themed action title previously shelved due to a publisher's bankruptcy, is being revived by SNEG, a small publisher. After a leaked build circulated online, SNEG engaged with the original development team to remaster and release the game, emphasizing the need to recover and honor lost cultural artifacts in gaming.
"As sometimes that happens, most likely there was a kind of controlled leak by someone who was close to development, who wanted this game to be checked by gamers."
"It was actually an indicator for us that, Hey, not everything is lost, and it was an extra push for us to finally check who actually owns the rights."
