[game_preservation] White Paper: Case Study Research!

[Devin Monnens]

I think this information is important. Unreleased manuscripts of famous
authors show up every once in awhile, and those get big publicity. They're
also X-raying early versions of paintings and covered-up paintings.
Obviously an unfinished game is not a complete work, and sometimes it may
just not be playable. But sometimes it can be contextually important, and
certainly important to designers (Koji Igarashi's team played Castlevania
Resurrection as well as the N64 Castlevanias and one would assume a lot of
other 3D action games when designing Lament of Innocence).

Unfortunately, sometimes you HAVE to, for legal reasons...
