Retro-resurrection on Steam spotlights old-game accessibility gaps

Capcom has released the original Resident Evil trilogy on Steam via GOG, making classic PSX-era titles accessible without a PlayStation but as PC ports with DRM and imperfect compatibility (e.g., Steam Deck issues and 4:3 scaling quirks). The move, aided by GOG, underscores a broader industry pattern of publishers shrinking official retro catalogs, pushing emulation or fan work as the default path and highlighting the ongoing preservation challenge for gaming history.
