Dear readers, there will be an online event about game preservations and its challanges on September 26th you may be interested in. Find out about in the attached email forward from the SIGCIS mailing list. best, Stefan --- Dr. Dr. Stefan Höltgen AG Spiele im DHd e.V.

To better inform these discussions, the VGHF+SPN gathered evidence about what portion of historical games are actually still in commercial distribution. We believe this is the first major study to analyze the availability rates for a broad sample of historical games in this manner. > > The results are stark: Only 13 percent of classic video games published in the United States are currently in release (n = 1500, ±2.5%, 95% CI). These low numbers are consistent across platform ecosystems and time periods. Troublingly, the reissue rate drops below 3 percent for games released prior to 1985—the foundational era of video games—indicating that the interests of the marketplace may not align with the needs of video game researchers. Our experiences gathering data for this study suggest that these problems will intensify over time due to a low diversity of reissue sources and the long-term volatility of digital game storefronts. > > Our results question whether the commercial market alone can adequately preserve the medium of video games, particularly for the needs of researchers. While this study does not make specific recommendations for improving the state of game availability, it instead offers statistics that can guide future discussions about the role of cultural institutions in video game preservation. > > This event is hosted by Library Futures in collaboration with the Software Preservation Network.

Konsolidierung der AG-Mitarbeit(er:innen)
by AG Spiele in den DHd 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Liebe Leute, nachdem wir vor etwas mehr als einem Jahr als AG in Erscheinung getreten sind und in dieser Zeit auch schon einiges unternommen haben, scheint die Zeit angebrochen zu sein, nun auch öffentlich als Arbeitsgruppe aufzutreten. Hierzu möchte ich euch mit dieser Rundmail herzlich einladen: Werdet AG-Spiele-Mitglied. Was bedeutet das? Wenn ihr bei der AG Spiele fest mitarbeitet, erscheint ihr auf unserer Homepage mit Mitarbeiter:innen-Bereich mit Namen,ggf. Foto, Kurzbiografie und Link zu eurer Webseite/Projektseite. Auf der Homepage bekommt ihr einen Mitarbeiteraccount, unter dem ihr Blogbeiträge und News posten könnt. Ihr kommt bei Discord in den „inner circle“, in dem AG-Projekte geplant und diskutiert werden (Tagungsteilnahmen, Publikationen, …) Ihr könnt Ideen mit uns umsetzen, bei denen wir vom Dachverband ko-finanzierte Projekte durchführen. Ihr übernehmt eine organisatorische Aufgabe innerhalb der AG (z.B. Discord-Moderator, Newsletter-Moderator, Homepage-Moderator, …) Ihr könnt „von der AG offiziell Delegierte" auf der jährlichen DHd-Konferenz werden, um dort an den Vorträgen, Workshops und AG-Meetings im Namen der AG Spiele teilzunehmen. Ihr nehmt an regelmäßigen AG-Meetings (1. auf der jährliche DHd-Konferenz und 2. zwei bis vier mal pro Jahr auf Online-AG-Meetings) teil. Indem ihr bei der weiteren Ausgestaltung und Organisation der AG-Tätigkeiten helft, unterstützt ihr natürlich auch die Sache „Computerspiele in den Digital Humanities“. Ach so, ihr könnt aber müsst nicht Mitglied im "Digital Humanities in deutschsprachigen Raum e.V.“ sein. Eine Mitgliedschaft lohnt sich aber auf jeden Fall. Für diejenigen, für die die feste Mitarbeit (noch) nicht infrage kommt, ändert sich nichts. Ihr bezieht natürlich weiterhin unseren (zumeist) zweisprachigen Newsletter, an dem ihr auch aktiv teilnehmen könnt. Und ihr seid weiterhin willkommene Gäste auf unserem Discord-Server! Falls eine solche Mitgliedschaft für euch infrage kommt, schreibt mir bitte eine E-Mail. Ich antworte dann zeitnah mit Informationen und Bitte um Input. Beste Grüße Stefan --- Dr. Dr. Stefan Höltgen AG Spiele im DHd e.V. E-Mail: email(a)dhspiele.de <mailto:[email protected]> Web: http:/dhspiele.de
