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.

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.

One of my parks a rec discs had a scratch on the data layer (“hole”).

Sent a pic and info the Universal and they mailed us a replacement set.

Most studios have an email address for this kind of stuff. Hunt around.

This is a game from 2007, I doubt there are new/replacement discs. That said it appears to be functional so we'll see.

Send the disc to activision and tell them you need a replacement for this damaged disc. Just to see how it plays out at least.

The worst that can happen is they don't return the disk
