why are game companies so moronic that they can't keep a gold master of source code/assets in a filing cabinet? just look at how many old games have no available source code.
>The rot hit in about 20.
Nope. It's inconsistent; it could hit from 20 to 40 and in different ways (some get bronze colored). Ofc it's happening at 20 if you're a pig who doesn't take care in basic levels.
who came up with this 20 year disc rot meme? I can only guess it must be zoomtards because those of us that do have cds know they still work and aren't rotted
i have seen 't.' millions of times
Urband dictionar says it means "regards" in finnish.
but its always place at the start of a sentence instead of the end
Pretty much, high humidity doesn't damage as much as long as you keep it at bay and not next to a fricking pond. t. someone living in an area above 80%.
I dont get why unreal is considered a good game. Yes the graphics were brutal and the enemies could dodge, but thats about it. All this talk about HL being a tech demo and Unreal some sort of soulful masterpiece is beyond me.
>and yes, blah blah blah
Why do mutts talk like this? As though someone asked them a question and making them feel self important.
Just state what you want to fricking say. Attention seeking homosexuals.
Ganker will play updated multiplayer with me, right?
yea
>Ganker will play worst quake multiplayer with me, right?
haha, no
>best quake single player*
you know what to do
>~~*Davidson*~~
I still remember the salt of the trannies who were angry that this disc was returned to their rightful owners at blizzard
>you shouldn't steal from billionaires noooooo
>not just dumping the source code online and then sending the disc back for a ransom
What a homosexual
>who were angry that this disc was returned to their rightful owners at blizzard
>only to be rewarded with their newest product merch
Top kek
A miserable pile of megabytes in physical form!
trannies are the ones who would be fine with it homosexual
>their rightful owners
shit bait. look up abandonment, (you) fricking gaylord moron
Thought OP pic was that for a moment.
Got my hopes up.

Nobody cared about preservation back then. It's the same reason why a lot of early movies are lost nowadays
this whole event was just a completely made up marketing stunt by blizzard
>trannie it's a moronic frog poster
expected
wtf is a cd
Candy doll.
uh google just alerted the feds WTF
wtf? Ganker told me all discs rot
Is he going to turn it in to ID Software in return for a sweet goodie bag? I know I would.
After uploading it to soulseek of course.
>Gets a new copy of Skyrim
Post yfw
He's implying Quake 2 is getting the update treatment like Quake 1 did, which is based because 2 is better than the first one
>master disc
Not real. There is zero reason for a company to put their master code onto one CD-R and not have a backup anywhere.
Did you bother with reading it? Is the music master files,
>master disc
>generic store bought gold disk
It's an archival disc. They're slightly higher quality and more expensive.
>300 year disc
They said regular cds would last 100 years. The rot hit in about 20. Curious to know how much better these are
Probably not much better off unless it massively improved
my best guess is give it 30-35 years before rot

t. lives in an area with low humidity.
nope, gets to 100% humidity once in a while even. otherwise its always humid

what does it mean?
truly yours

I literally live next to a lake
That's nothing; try living next to the ocean, that's one fricking bucket of water right in your face.
They do last though, it's CDRs that don't last for shit.
I liked Quake II more than Unreal on the basis that it didn't kill the mystique of my Voodoo 3 running anything like a pro, it's also more fun
Unreal has more soul. Quake 2 is more kino tho
