Seems weird to ask for donations for game preservation without pledging to release the games under an open license. Why would I give you money so you can go buy a game and then turn around and sell it back to me?

Also weird not to have an easily accessible list or some kind of plan to show which games will be prioritized.

Just a vague 20,000 game list which may or may not have games that I am interested in.

Also seems like Patrons should get access to the games that are preserved, at least after some point of contributions (e.g. after $60 were accumulated in donations over a period of time)

I would gladly pay 2x or 3x that amount if I knew I would get access to this game library hassle-free in the future.

Good idea overall, "meh" execution so far.
