Do you think that video games will be still known when they will enter the public domain (copyrights expiring)? (fedia.io)

CodeMaster religiously hold onto their copyrights. I remember searching for their 8bit games of the 1980s and while copies are out there, the places that do it legally, World of Spectrum for example, don't host them because CodeMasters refuse permission for these old games to be distributed for free.

Tbh the whole Darling family seemed a bit weird even back when they made those budget games.
