That looks like sun damage, don't leave your discs out by the window you troglodyte.

If you don't backup your games then you can't complain when you lose them. DRM is the only thing preventing you from keeping your games for life, and in that case digital vs physical doesn't matter.

this is only for shit quality cds

The mess in my room.

1. buy physical, then you actually own a 'master' of the content
2. digitally back up in inevitable event of 'disk rot'

remember, entroy is inevitable, if youve got the physical copy you can duplicate digitally infinite times, but if you have a digital copy and the operating company goes out of business, you cant redownload if an hdd craps out

haha, plus twenty gamer points to you man

My cockroaches.

A blu ray will last longer than any digital media platform. A cartridge will last even longer.

I think my toilet will last thousands of years if you don't touch it.

This only happens to shitty early cds before disc presses were perfected.
That pretty much never happens from ps1 games and up unless you're a tard and leave your discs sitting out in the sun for years.
Otherwise the theoretical life of a pressed cd is in the hundreds of years.

God

The mold in my bathroom

Twinkies, they don't expire.

frig off Spoony

This but you can't expect retarded kids who are all digital on their consoles to fucking know anything about anything.

I own over 1000 games on discs, and while I have not checked every single one, the only time I have ever come across disc rot was from my saturn and Dreamcast games. These games were from back when I was a child and didn't take care of my things. Also, Sega used shitty discs for all of their disc based systems, which is why the disc rot is only evident on my Sega games. Even my old PS1 games from the 90s, also during a time when I didn't take care of my things, have no disc rot what so ever.

You can't duplicate if your physical copy gets fucked either. There is no real difference, the solution to both problems is to have multiple backup copies anyway.

Switch is a godsend.

1. Because so many old-ass classic titles are being re-released on it in a brand new cartridge
2. Loads of games that were previously disc-only titles are now on cart. Ensuring longevity of the titles far into the future.

I see digital fags shitpost about disc rot all the time, but has anyone here actually ever had it? I own thousands of games from across several decades and I’ve never once seen it. Only thing I’ve actyally experienced first hand is gameboy game save batteries dying.

Digital is objectively superior to physical and I will list one reason why.

every single problem you guys have with digital is not tied to being digital itself. it is tied to DRM.

so digital is like communism, it should be good in theory, but it isn`t. so it`s still shit, shut the fuck up

The same amount of time has passed from the 90s to current year than the 90s and world war 2.

Of that was a DVD or a blu ray it would still work. CDs, however, put the data layer directly beneath the surface label

True. Level 31 virgin here. And I feel fine with it lasting 60 more years.

Piracy and Preservation go hand in hand
One is looked up to and respected, the other is frowned upon and hated. They're the same thing with different intend.
They use similar methods, similar tools, similar cracks if need be, and both hate DRM

Name one reason to hate a pirate that you can also hate preservationists for as well or like just tell me a time where either saved your ass i guess

What the fuck, those barbarians. There's a set of tongs there but no napkins to wipe your hands so what neanderthal would choose to dig in with their hands?

Attached: Game-Boy.jpg (250x303, 12K)

respectable answer, but in the event they get into an argument with people of similar intent they often resolve it a lot quicker
for example if you found that many roms were improperly dumped by one source, would you bitch about the source and hope someone else replaces the roms, or dump them yourself and tell everyone to go fuck themselves.

for a pirate it doesnt matter, but for preservationists any modification to a rom that breaches its integrity is a problem, which many dumping methods tended to do back then.

It's always funny how people forget how shitty DRM was getting for retail games before Steam came around. Even if Steam hadn't happened, trash like Denuvo would still have come around.

Even after the sun has swallowed the earth as it inevitably becomes a red giant?

I don't fucking think so. Get dabbed on by science, nerd.

Properly store your CDs and this will literally never happen. I have an original windows 95 CD that still works 100%.

/thread

It's good in practice actually. See: GOG. You have a problem with steam and epic games and battlenet and uplay, which is fine. But that doesn't define all digital.

my digital game collection will unironically last until I die.

Lost my v card at 31. I was about to become a powerful wizard too but I threw it away.

Yeah but what about the tablet battery? Once that goes and Nintendo stops producing them you're done forever. The switch is such a fragile gaming format, it's like storing all of gaming history on a thumb drive.

My piss bottles.

the stench of ur mums moist jizz filled pussy

I like physical, I like collecting (not hording every title, just ones that mean alot to me), but I dont think any game is in danger of being lost.

I have 100 PS2 games but I always just run the isos from the PS2 hard drive. Nobody who owns a PS2 runs out and buys physical media they drag and drop that shit.

Nintendo shut down their Wii shop... But I hacked my Wii long ago, and my 1TB hard drive contains the entire store, or at least anything that could pass for a game.

Sounds weird coming from me but you should play the game not the disc.

The release of the Super Nintendo is closer to the Moon landing than the current day
The same amount of time has passed between the PS1's release and today as between the death of Elvis Presley and the PS1's release
The PS2 is now as old as the original Donkey Kong arcade game was when the PS2 launched
The same amount of time has passed between the Xbox 360's launch and today as between the fall of the Soviet Union and the Xbox 360's launch

My PS1 games are still fine. Is final rot a meme made my slobs who don't look after their shit?
