A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.

Not only games, this should be for all products. Especially physical ones, because they are actual pollution.

If you think all products should be open source, you might like this other article I wrote about making aircraft open source.
