MODERATORS
Physical media is the only way to ensure you retain access to it.
I disagree. Piracy is the answer IMO.
as someone else said, invasive DRM exists on discs too
discs can't store enough data for a lot of modern games, necessitating downloads anyway
discs can be damaged, lost, or stolen
The only way to ensure we still have access to this stuff in the future is a healthy cracking and pirating community.
discs are a personal archiving solution (quite a bad one too, unless you're into m-discs n stuff) and do not solve the data accessibility issue (copying it is labor intensive and needs human interaction, in contrast to a torrent)
It's why I see ed2k better than torrent for this purpose.
