"There's a lot of organizations out there that demand to be the archive keeper, and then they do a terrible job at it"

    I was told ‘you have to destroy everything you have,’ and I did. My entire archive. Early design notes, code for different versions, prototypes, all the GURPS code – gone."

    why would you though?
    run off a copy, then delete
    how would they ever find out? “personal archive” implies the archive was on his own pc

        This, plus there was probably some $$ dependent on him turning over everything.
