Game preservation rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

You wouldn't pirate a game you already paid for to be able to play it again since the company stopped supporting it and no longer sells it

Many years back , a friend was a manager of a game shop. They let me bring in badly scarred discs of movies and PS1/2 games, pay a very small fee (I want to say like $1/disc?) to get a brand new copy of the disc as replacement. Was a service that was available to resell shops apparently, though she mentioned that it also has a subscription aspect that likely placed it well out of reach of mortals.

I'd even be fine with mildly increased cost on something like that for regular consumers, but alas no....
