Unless you plan on keeping all of your discs in an air tight vault at all times you ain't stopping it.

Disc rot is real you tard

>OMG guys, I left all my toilet paper out in the rain, and now it's RUINED! I should have gone with digital toilet paper this whole time
William Thompson
I have discs that I've had since early 2000s that still look mint. You do know you're supposed to keep them in the case right?
Julian Davis
How is physical media better than digital media, it's an upgrade on all fronts
Jaxson Thompson
Most of my cardbox collector editions are getting wrecked by the passage of time.
Especially the unsealed ones.
Samuel Harris
wow it's early 2000s dude. try early 90s. still mint and fucking great
Leo Barnes
I have literally never had a game stop working for me
I’ve got disc games that are 25 years old and they don’t have a single scratch, Famicom games that are almost 40 years old and their boxes are in better condition than that CD
Noah Baker
It is, if you were smart you made copies of it in the decades before it started showing pinholes. Not tied to an account, not tied to patches, your game.
Luke Campbell
Isn't Disc Rot an issue with the manufacturing process and how you store it has very little bearing on if it happens or not?
Oliver Garcia
Yup. Look at metal gear on the gamecube.
That game is known to already be rotting wheras most games are estimated to rot WAY after we all die
Dylan Morgan
Virtua Cop, released 1995
Jayden Parker
pirated games is mine forever
Tyler Nguyen
i don't know man. have you tried putting cd in microwave? must be manufacturing problem alone. no outside influence, i just microwave it and it doesn't work anymore and looks weird.
nah seriously though i think it's usually printing issue, but that doesn't mean that if you store discs in some swamp that they don't "rot"
Christopher Jones
From what I understand about that game is the image on the top of the disc starts to crack or peel away, same with Skies of Arcadia Legends, but both games actually still run fine when that happens. Unless there is a separate issue, or perhaps that issue might cause playback problems in a number of years.
Gavin Sanchez
The problem is idiots store their games in the basement or attic
Matthew Turner
>Not tied to an account, not tied to patches
You don't have to patch DRM-free copies, like those from GOG.com and Humble Store.
Christopher Evans
It can be a manufacturing problem, but It can also happen do to poor storage.
Leaving them in areas where they'll get a lot of direct sunlight, can damage them too.

It is a manufacturing issue. Ever seen at he bottom of a disc and it looks like someone "spilled something" on it? Big mega corps did anything they could to press discs for as few cents as possible from China.
I have music CDs from 1980, literally the first year of manufacture with no disc rot. Also let me tell you that these first discs are fucking solid. They feel heavier than todays shitty rewritables and other music CDs you can buy these days.

>no having BASED cartridges
Discs were a fucking meme and you're all idiots for allowing Sony to trojan horse their format into your home through video games.
Connor Parker
hard drive degradation is also a thing retard.
Brayden Hernandez
its called a CD case and they all come with one
Joseph Jenkins

Some of the cheaper blanks I got in the late 90s and early 2000s have some rot on them. most of them still work. normal shit still is fine though.
Easton Sanchez
Yeah you've got a lot of old shit disk, but probably no friends or women either.
Enjoy your old shit games alone I guess.
Samuel Bailey
ah fuck, it really did happen.
Kevin Butler
>days to download a game
Man I’m glad I live in a firs world country, I get 500mbs but it’s fucking expensive, I pay $50 US a month, Canada is too fucking expensive

Cameron Miller
