I post this because the subject matter is relevant and just about no one else with reach and availability regularly talks about it, though I am aware of the allegations of Sterling's mistreatment of employees as well.

Oh. That would make me very
upset 
to encounter. That's a terrible attitude for people to have. : *( I can't imagine just being contemptuous and incurious about the past, and dismissing great art because the graphics are lower resolution.
It's somehow worse when it comes from a person living and breathing right in front of you, too. It isn't just some asshole on the internet; it's an asshole you have to see regularly.
Man, that would blow my mind. I tend to have a pretty personable wall up, but that would probably get me to drop it easily. Something like 80% of atari games ever produced are lost to time, and sure, many of them were most likely bad, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be preserved in some way.
Similarly, the early years of motion pictures are almost entirely lost to time because of active and deliberate effort by owners of a film to destroy such films after a feature stopped attracting audiences.
