Very interesting.

The article mentions, that the exemption only applies when archivist legally have the source code for the game (usually provided by the original entity that created it).

What are some examples of companies providing the source code to projects? I'd like to support those companies buy purchasing their other products if possible

I never before thought much about archiving multiplayer games, but this made me give it a thought. I imagine wanting to show my children Fortnite in 15 years and actually being able to play with them- that would be incredibly wholesome
