Remastered is aesthetically different enough that it shouldn't be considered preservation of the original game. We deserve reasonable access to the original Dark Souls on PC.

The original Dark Souls should be on gog, the remastered version is cool and all, but prepare to die edition has some things that make the game feel different. In my opinion the game should be brought to gog so fans of the saga can experience the true Dark Souls

I wanted to get into this game so badly and started a run in a copy of Prepare to Die edition I borrowed on Steam from a friend. Then, not only did library share get phased out, Prepare to Die got taken off the store front, so I have this game installed on my drive but I can't even play it! Madness, the original version of Dark Souls should be available to all regardless of it being "outdated;" the Mario games on NES are technically outdated by Mario All Stars on SNES, and you don't see Nintendo forcing us to play only All Stars if we want that experience!
More people need to be able to play this original version of Dark Souls without having to resort to piracy or paying 10,000,000 dollars for Steam Keys. The servers don't even exist anymore without mods, Namco literally has nothing to lose.
The Souls games are my favorite series of games ever. Dark Souls Remastered is awesome, but as many fans know, it's barely a remaster. Experiencing the original Dark Souls should be something that everyone should be able to do without needing to pirate it. You can't gatekeep art because a "better" version was released.
Those games also need your vote!

Eternal Sonata
Eternal SonataEternal Sonata is a role-playing video game developed by tri-Crescendo and published by Namco Bandai Games. The game is centered on the Polish romantic pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 39. The story envisions a fictional world dreamed by Chopin during his last hours that is influenced by Chopin's life and music, and in which he himself is a playable character, among others. The game's battle system centers on musical elements and character-unique special attacks. Light and darkness play a part in the appearance and abilities of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast. The game features a selection of Chopin's compositions played by pianist Stanislav Bunin, though the original compositions were composed and arranged by Motoi Sakuraba. It is notable for its use of classical piano pieces, educational cutscenes featuring real paintings and photographs (in contrast to the cel-shading graphics of the game) and lush landscape design.

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.

Ecco 2: Sentinels of the Universe
Ecco 2: Sentinels of the UniverseEcco 2: Sentinels of the Universe was a planned sequel to Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future for Dreamcast that got canceled around the time SEGA announced that they would be stopping production on the console and focus on being a third-party developer. Given the fact that the first game was later ported to the Sony Playstation 2 later the same year, it’s not clear why Appaloosa Interactive decided to stop development on the sequel, rather than port it to PlayStation 2 as they did with the first game. The game was uncovered to the public in 2016 by Hidden Palace, a wiki community dedicated to video game development preservation. This build comes from a Katana Dreamcast development kit. The discs were included along with the kit. The game features "a few playable level via level select with a complete working debug mode," but there is no music or sound in them.
