Ask HN: Will games made in Unity3d be playable in 10/20 years?

1 points by DaveSapien ↗ HN
A question for my fellow #gamedevs. Thinking 10, 20, 30 years into the future. How big a danger is it that games made in #unity3d will go the same way as games made in Flash? (Meaning not impossible to play them now, but a pain todo so). Thoughts?

Seems very unlikely that they will be unplayable. Built Unity games are just .exe files, where flash games are in a format that requires flash to run. In other words, unless the format of standard executable files changes, unity games will still be playable.

Until there is an 128bit cpu architecture and I cant republish because Unity has went out of business or there is a change in there licensing agreement...
