    I wrote a Python script that says “lol” last week.

    50 years from now, it’ll still be runnable, and it’ll still say “lol”.

    Unless I update it to say “Ubisoft sucks dick”.

      If you don’t update it I doubt that. We have computer programs that are 50 years old and are completely unable because the base computer changed so much

        So?

        Emulate.

        As long as the application doesn’t rely on something external like a server that no longer exists, it can always be run.

        This isn’t about system changing. If you can either find the original hardware or simulate it, it should run. Not just go “lol no, expiry date passed, no longer functional”.

        You’re saying it can sometimes be practically impossible. That doesn’t mean it has to theoretically and actually impossible, too.

      If you don’t update it to say “Ubisoft sucks dick,” you don’t support games!
