That's just one of the options, albeit the most beneficial for gamers.

Not necessarily.

Edit: the goalpost is "the games should remain playable after the publisher stop supporting it". It hasn't moved an inch. So I'm not sure what you are talking about...

You've not just edit'ed and added to your comment, you removed a point about supporting open sourcing the games as a solution.

Many people (myself included) have absolutely no problem with that in principle. It's how do you do it that we have a problem with. Saying "just have every video game use the architecture that I have in my head that works, and isolate them from how all other software works" isn't practical.

I did not remove anything from my comment. Just added a statement since the alleged "goalpost moving" was referenced twice in the thread, so I had to reread my posts to check if it was really there. Hence my confusion.

You can propose your own solution to the problem, not just criticize what other people say.

> just have every video game use the architecture that I have in my head

I'm not proposing any specific architecture.
