I have the feeling it wasn't a discovery of physical media vault. I think they discovered how to update the games with Ai to resell them again. I am not against it, BTW. I just do not believe them.

    From the GOG store page for Privateer2 (and presumably the rest of them)

    Source Master FMVs - In 2024, the complete Source Master tapes were discovered by the game's original Cinematics Director. These tapes have been digitized and meticulously re-edited frame-by-frame to restore the over 100 FMV scenes, and integrate them back into the game.
