Remember.... physical is king as drives don't last forever

All my Sega CD/PS2 games stopped working because of use during 2010s. It's when I stopped buying physical media.

Where with hard drives, the last forever if you follow a proper cloning/backup ritual.

Shit disc rot happened to you? I didn't think that was a thing for like a decade or two
