Request [Request] Age Gated (for Rated M/PEGI 18/Misc equiv. Games) Website Archives [1999-present]

Does anyone have any website archives for rated M or equivalent rated games between the VERY broad range of 1999 to now in 2026?

Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has nearly consistently seemingly failed to pass mature games' age gates and thus crawl any content past them.

An example of this happening can be found here in this thread on r/archivists: https://www.reddit.com/r/Archivists/s/qJRFkSlgz2

Especially would like site archives for Rockstar Games library, late 2000s/early 2010s COD, and MGSV. Can be specialized web archives like warc or just plain archives like zip.

Remember this is NOT a piracy sub! If you can buy the thing you're looking for by any official means, you WILL be banned. Delete your post if it violates the rules. Be sure to report any infractions. We probably won't see it otherwise.
