I meant with regards to the loss for society when this disappears into some private collection. I’d be better in a museum. I am sure he’ll earn enough short term money from the auctions.
I kinda agree on that. The loss for society of the source code of an old game.....
I don't see any extra value. I do agree it would be nice to see the source code and look at it. Some have an emotional attachment to it, but if it wouldn't have been sold/shared, nobody would have cared or request it.
A lot of arbitrage/sales still happens on eBay, it's not hard when the sellers are looking at #1 to earn money on #2
