March Physical Video Game Pickups

This year I wanted to add in series of games I've been sleeping on.

So the first one I decided to tackle is the vast Lego game catalog, especially given how shaky ground WB is currently.

Did you know that all games distributed in France, even digital, need to be saved in our National Library, the BnF ? Law from 1993. Obviously even french devs don't know it necessarily or forget it. But that's good for preservation of games I think. #gamedev #videogame #videogamepreservation

Trump funding cuts 'devastate' video game research and development 'By limiting research in this industry, it is limiting science as a whole.'

All I can add to this is that, in my circles, I've been seeing more talk about crowdfunding for projects and research. It just might happen if the government refuses to support its people and their causes.
