Sony's games division has assembled a new team of employees with one main task:
to preserve the various legacy game titles for the PlayStation game consoles.
As the Video Games Chronicle noted, a new employee at Sony has announced on LinkedIn that he is part of a new so-called "preservation team".
Specifically, it is Garrett Fredley, who is now working as a so-called Senior Build Engineer for Sony PlayStation and is one of the first members of the new team.
Fredley previously worked in the field of so-called "game preservation", but for Electronic Arts (EA).
The Canadian already has some experience in this area, but claims to be working at Sony on a broader scale in order to get old games there as well.
With IP preservation, Sony certainly wants to ensure that you can continue to generate income from old games.
In this way, the company can continue to earn money with once popular titles in the future,
but it also has to adapt them again and again for the newer platforms in order to make them usable on them.
