Sony would have more digital sales if they didn’t fuck with people’s libraries. The only way to be sure that you can still play some PS games is to have a physical copy.
It is dumb to trust physical media with copy protection. Those discs don’t last nearly as long as you think they will and you have no way to make a proper backup. You are trying to solve a legal/societal problem with a technical workaround, that never really works out.
I’ve had properly stored, professionally pressed, official DVD and CDROM’s suffer bit rot, become in playable and in one case explode into shards in my DVD-ROM drive. And it didn’t take decades, most were <7 years old. Don’t be so sure you have decades.
I buy thrift store dvds, they still seem to work… Mostly
I see your point. I was mostly cheekey few comments up. I aint that commented to back up but i prolly shoulf start while these things can be had physical with a license
Otherwise gonna be a lot o yarring into the high sea winds.

You have to be a dumb to trust digital “library”
Even steam tbh all that shit is has its day numbered
Maybe gog but still got to habe your own media back up

Naive would be a better adjective than dumb, imo.
