While for the most part this kind of damage is fine (this game is playable), it's questionable for how much longer. If you have the hardware or the capability, always remember to back up your physical games.

I know it may not be the most legal conversation, but how best can one back up physical games? It has been a long, long time since I last looked into it.

Homebrew and backing up your legally owned software. They're usually called dumping tools.

I salute people for devoting themselves to these. But since you also have to buy the tools, in my case, laziness causes me to buy digital sales; knowing I still roll some dice on the game not working some day for other reasons.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
