So I watched this video

One of the big points he talks about is about how digital would cause the history of games to go away, that our children or grand children won't be able to play these games in the future since no physical editions would exist.
And here I am thinking, "What?, does he know nothing about the history of PC gaming and the history of games?"
I'm looking at PC gaming, and I see the history of games being easily accessible even though the game is 10, 15, 20, 30+ years old now all thanks to digital. PC gaming history is being preserved through digital. I look at console gaming, and I don't see any history there being preserved except through ROMs which again is digital, and hardly any history is being preserved because of the physical games existence, and the ones that are preserved it is not easily accessible for everyone.
So I find his argument about that to be very strange given the already 16 year history of digital gaming on the PC.
