People in the future will be like:

"Pokémon? There's radio silence after the 3DS games. I think that Nintendo closed down by then."

"Ah, Ultrakill? Here. [points to some file in the repo] Still playable. Small dev from a brilliant indie scene."

I'm being kind of cheeky; it's reasonably possible that people in the future know that Nintendo games actually existed past the 3DS, they simply weren't preserved because their corporation got too greedy. In the meantime, game devs like Hakita are keeping their legacy alive.
