Game preservation has become a major concern in the gaming industry recently, and over time, the situation is only continuing to deteriorate.While many players still prefer to buy physical versions to ensure safety, publishers are constantly pushing the transition to the digital age.

This means they can remove the game or shut down the server at any time.The latter is particularly problematic because it will cause players to lose access to the services they paid to purchase.In fact, a survey shows that 70% of games that require connection will eventually "dead".

The survey, initiated by consumer movement group Don’t Kill Games, is committed to calling for the industry to pay more serious attention to game preservation, and its latest findings highlight the urgency of the work.

Don't Kill Games anymore, the organization reviewed about 700 games and divided them into four categories: Dead games, risky games, online games saved by publishers, and fan-driven saving projects.

Among them, "risk" games mainly include games that are still relying on the Internet to run.Therefore, the "Stop Killing Games" organization also specially drew a chart that does not include this category to better illustrate the overall situation of the game's preservation.

Shockingly, up to 70% of the games surveyed are classified as "unplayable".This means that of the 425 games studied, 299 are no longer available to play (Dead).

It should be noted that this list includes games such as Battlefield: Rebel Company 2 and Crysis 3 that lose online multiplayer mode but still retain offline content.

However, even if these exceptions are excluded, the proportion of games that cannot be played is still as high as 68.77%.Games like Agents belong to this category, while Suicide Squad: Kill Justice League is one of the few games that are saved by developers themselves.
