Instead of finger pointing like troons and women focus on what could be done to potentially help this. With storage going up in price it will be difficult for individuals (you) to archive stuff if you're not financially comfortable
I have a few roms but very disparate and not organized because it was for personal use. Maybe torrenting could help but many will stop seeding after a while

How the fuck did /v/ not hear about this website? It had every game ever and had no downsides. I was downloading every classic alive on that website while this place acted like vimmslaire was relevant with its 10 games on that site

I wish they did Switch games and their mods/updates. I wanted to get the new one for Fit Boxing 3.

I will be donating either way though, but I hope the devs get their shit together with torrents and other backups so they only need to come up with a new frontend site instead of having to worry about hosting. Even IPFS could be all right if they don't fuck it up.

3DS Roms and old roms are super small. Storage is still under $100/TB. There is not going to be any point where archiving old games is prohibitively expensive. What is expensive is convenience for retarded kids, which is all that site provided. Stop fearmongering.

Consider the following. (pic related)

>>733888708
You should've been archiving a decade ago. It is never too late to start, you should be downloading whatever you like and keeping it in storage for your convenience and preservation for the future. This should be standard practice, no matter how giga autistic it can get.
