You can find an external DVD RW drive for under $20 online. Then you can rip your disks into ISO images and play them any time.

At what point do you not just pirate the game that you already own?

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Actually you can legally download torrents of games that you already own.

You can download them sure, I think seeding makes things less legal.

Pretty sure it's a federal determination. You can't be pirating if you have the rights to the property.

Are you talking about the US?

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. On Earth, adjacent to Sol.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

I just wanted to know what jurisdiction. I know Americans take it for granted that the US is the default lol

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's also just about the only country in the world where these things are enforced.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Not even remotely true lol

Steam used to allow you to convert certain physical games to digital if you put the CD key into Steam's "Add a Non-Steam Game" menu.

It wasn't all games but quite a few, so if you're sitting on a big physical library this is a legitimate option.
