Just did a GOG survey that focused on the idea of a paid membership option on GOG. Seems they're determining what people would be willing to pay extra for. Some of the options were

a tool for backing up offline installers
ability to install previous versions of a game
extra insight into the preservation work they're doing.
voting rights on games to bring into the preservation program.

And others that I can't remember.

Yeah, I found that one weird as well. Lego Island wasn't just the first Lego game. It was one of the first open world games. Well worth preserving. Much more so than the Lego games that got added.

I think LEGO Island would be hard to license because Mindscape is long gone. Also the source code was lost as I recall. MattKC on YouTube has created lots of patches to get the game running on modern systems. He's working on decompiling it actually.

Yeah, I'm actually a member of his channel on YouTube.
