Open Source Games
An open source game outlives the studio that made it - no server gets switched off, no store revokes your copy, and the mod community keeps adding to it for decades after a commercial title would have been delisted and forgotten. The games here ship with their source and assets open, so a classic stays playable on hardware that didn't exist when it launched, the community can fix and extend it freely, and the worlds you sink hundreds of hours into can't be taken offline out from under you.
