    This has gotten me thinking about legal deposit requirements, such as those that have existed for centuries in certain countries where published works must have a copy submitted to a national library for conservation purposes. Does anyone know if there are initiatives like this for video games? How are they going?

      I don’t think those are really a thing anymore. At least I know in the states copyrighting things hasn’t been accompanied by a log in the LoC in quite a while.
