Today is my first day as a Senior Build Engineer at PlayStation, working as one of their initial hires for the newly created Preservation team!" said Fredley via LinkedIn.
"Game Preservation was my first career passion. It was my first foray into the world of Software Engineering / Dev Ops, and into a world that so many are unaware of. I was just a novice back then, contributing any way I could regardless of my inexperience. Now, I'm back to it, no longer the novice I once was.

YES! Idk what this all encompasses like legacy games or just preserving games that are releasing going forward, or hopefully both, but I love that Sony is dedicating a team to such an important endeavor! History in general needs to be preserved. Video games are no different.
Hopefully this pushes Microsoft to re-open their BC program.
Hope this have good fruits.
What this mean? More remakes? Please enlighten me haha
