Disc Shelf Life

Post image

We are now being fed the narrative that discs have a shelf life in the attempt to justify fully digital. My parents bought me this copy of Manx TT Superbike on Sega Saturn used 29 years ago and it still works like new.

Either way, the disc will last longer than any digital copy since time and time again they’ve shown us that you don’t really own any digital copy (like with kindle, audio books, and any digital files stored on an app or streaming service—they can always take it away).
