Do you think that video games will be still known when they will enter the public domain (copyrights expiring)?

    Under current copyright law in the USA, we’re talking about Super Mario Bros becoming public domain around 2075. A number of games will no doubt remain known, one way or another, much like some very old movies remain interesting and known, but a good portion will fall into the bin of “meh, who cares”. I mean, a huge number of games are already almost entirely forgotten.
