>When you stop thinking about games as just entertainment but also as an art form you realize that a lot of art has already been lost to time.

I do think games are art. I don't think most of society thinks of games or even most media as art. So that's already one social hurdle to jump.

There will be a few big artifacts, but most people won't care about preserving every single piece of media in existence.

>it is important to me to preserve them for future times considering I still play a lot of older games and even some games from before I was born.

No point in preserving servers with no on it. I still have PS1 discs in my room, but those are all single player experiences that don't depend on others to derive enjoyment from.
