87% of video games released in the U.S. before 2010 are technically unavailable for legal purchase.

As of 2026, libraries and archives can digitally preserve, but not digitally *share* games, and can provide on-premises access only. Libraries *are* allowed to share books, films, and music both onsite and remotely.

This is all very messed up.
