    You have to be a dumb to trust digital “library”

    Even steam tbh all that shit is has its day numbered

    Maybe gog but still got to habe your own media back up

      It is dumb to trust physical media with copy protection. Those discs don’t last nearly as long as you think they will and you have no way to make a proper backup. You are trying to solve a legal/societal problem with a technical workaround, that never really works out.

          I’ve had properly stored, professionally pressed, official DVD and CDROM’s suffer bit rot, become in playable and in one case explode into shards in my DVD-ROM drive. And it didn’t take decades, most were <7 years old. Don’t be so sure you have decades.
