This should be illegal, companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the code to people who bought it) if they decide to discontinue it, so people can preserve it on their own.

      Holy crap. File compression is not the same thing as lossy media compression.

      File compression uses mathematical algorithms to create definable outcomes. Meaning it doesn’t matter how much you compress/uncompress a file, it will always be exactly the same.

      5 X 2 will always give you 10 and 10 ÷ 2 will always give you 5.
