"Internet Archive wanted to do a fundraiser around software. Asked if I knew
people. DO I KNOW PEOPLE. We kicked around some ideas, asked a few people, and
came up with some fundraising levels. Hence we now have GAME NOT OVER, a talk
and panel about preserving video games."

"For decades, gaming has been one of the central driving forces behind
technological progress in the digital age — from increased storage and memory
needs to advancements in graphic capabilities, and even how we interact with
and socialize around media and each other. How has this medium morphed and
changed, and more importantly, how do we ensure the preservation of this
cultural driver in all of its forms? Please join us for Game Not Over! on June
23rd, featuring a fireside chat with John Carmack, independent AI researcher
and Consulting CTO to Oculus/Facebook; and a panel discussion with Garry
Kitchen, Industry Consultant and President/CEO of Audacity Games; Kelsey Lewin,
Co-Director, The Video Game History Foundation; Kate Willært, Geek Culture
Historian and Founder of A Critical Hit!; and Internet Archive's Free-Range
Archivist Jason Scott as they discuss the past and present of the gaming
industry, as well as why the Internet Archive is key to understanding its
history. This is an Internet Archive fundraiser. Ticket sales will go towards
the long-term preservation of our software collection and advance our mission
of providing Universal Access to All Knowledge."
