And this is another reason why I pirate so many games.
They made their money on the hype when the games were released way back. Make them available and people will buy them instead of pirating. But they’d rather lock things away to cause FOMO like you said. They keep thinking about short-term profit rather than long-term steady income.
This has nothing to do with preservation.

The composer for the OST recently did studio quality remasters of a good chunk of the Ape Escape soundtrack (split across two separare albums iirc) based off the original “before compression” demos, and he also has a big discography of music in the same style.
