Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I would say yes.... for the following reasons:

- some mobile games get updated often, with the new versions being worse than older ones, or having content cut from them etc...

- then there are a lot of games that never gotten updated for a long time, and can no longer be installed and run on modern devices

- perhaps there are a lot of delisted games from the Google play store since 2016?

So I think this collection of yours does have some archival value! :)
