Many games are in danger of becoming unable to be played because their publishers are not porting them to newer generations from their original consoles which also means that as those original consoles see their production ended, then there will one day be a moment where it's very hard to play games released on those consoles only.
So do you think that there should be like a set amount of time given to videogame producers during which they have to port their games for the current gen console or face losing the copyright to said games until they have ported it over to the most recent generation of console?
I think this would be a good move in making sure as many games stay playable as possible. And if a videogame producer doesn't intend on porting the game they've made to current gen (after the generation of console the game was originally made for had its production ended), it clearly indicates they're not interested in any money gained from said game anymore, and thus they don't need said copyright anymore if they don't intend to make money from said copyright anymore, and it doesn't hurt them to lose said copyright. And it will also benefit the fans who will be able to do their own jury riggings by emulators, etc... with said game if the videogame producer doesn't intend on porting it to newest gen within a deadline dictated by the law.
