Let’s not embed some classic games in tweets [Updated]

Update As Jason Scott notes on Twitter, the service "spontaneously removed all of Internet Archive's embed ability and functionality. No idea why." Embedding still works on other web sites, but linking the Archive pages will no longer embed a playable iframe inside the tweet. "I'm sure you'd like it back, so feel free to communicate with Twitter, and be sure to let me know what they said," Scott tweets.

Further update: As per Twitter guidelines, the classic game embedding functionality was removed for violating the company's "player card rules" for embedded content. Specifically, those rules prohibit people from building "end-to-end interactive experiences inside the video or audio player unrelated to Player Card content, such as the following: purchasing, gaming, polling, messaging, and data entry. Instead, build these interactive experiences with our other Card types or enhance your Player Card content with links to your website or mobile application."
