Or, "How To Get Some Public Appreciation With Minimal Effort: An Attempt".

If they actually cared they'd host (and more importantly, supported since they probably don't run on modern systems without some fiddling) those games themselves.

Not like they don't have a store with games or anything.

? Internet Archive is sure to outlast Epic. Putting all your eggs in the same basket is worse than allowing the archive to do what they were created for

Given the continued mismanagement of the IA I would put decent money on that not happening actually.

Can you elaborate or link to more on the mismanagement aspect? I’m not up to speed on IA drama.
