I'm not sure this perfectly applies since I presume if you already owned these you could still download and use the old versions, but this type stuff is why I insist on buying PC stuff on GOG when available, because I can and do download and archive the offline installers. Maybe it's a little crazy, but just last year I replayed a game I bought 25 years ago because I still had it. Yeah, sure I could have bought it again or pirated it, but I just like the concept of I had it all this time and it's mine. I don't like digital ownership really. I just got rid of my PS4 and essentially abandoned everything I had on there. Not that it was much because I never really enjoyed that system, but it's the same with my Xbox One that I have a zillion games on.
Pretty much. I forget about cartridge based stuff just from being a PC kid mainly. Not that I preferred that at the time, but I went through last year and backed up all my old CDs mainly like I'd done with floppies in years past. Nice to have that option
