I don't think this argument applies to the switch personally. You aren't "preserving" a game that came out this year and is available in multiple formats, you're just stealing it.

In general I agree though. The shutting down of the old eShop is very sad. There are probably hundreds of digital-only titles that are going to vanish. I like the response of the video game history foundation. Basically, we understand they can't keep the shot up forever, but what are fans supposed to do if they want to play these games and there's no legal way to do so?

I guess we'll keep our 3ds's and hope we're alive when they enter the public domain.
