In an increasingly digital world, any form of games preservation is becoming increasingly important, and while it’s just as essential that private collectors the world over continue to gather relics from gaming’s 50-year history, Embracer Group has the finance and resources to locate, purchase, curate, and maintain the condition of an artistic and innovate history often overlooked by mainstream museums.
While there are currently no plans to open the archive as a public viewing gallery, Embracer Group plans to allow access to researchers and academics as a record of the artistic, technological, and design history of our favorite pastime.
