        the only way to keep a CD working in 50 years is to not use it. the read limit on flash media will long outlast

    CDs should have remained in cases similar to floppy discs even when it became an optical format. Manufacturers shouldn't have cucked to the record company boomers who insisted that music come on round objects.

    Cheap steam sales got PC gamers used to buying digitally and companies were happy to stop having to waste money on
    >boxes
    >cds

    Now PC sales are nowhere near as good so it sucks, we fell for the trap. Consolegays are going through the same thing right now.

          I don't think you get what a house fire is anon, unless all your digital are in drive's and those inside a fireproof safe then it doesn't matter what form your media is beside's physical media can come with art/lore books, poster's and can also have paintings etc...

            1. create optical disc images of your CDs
            2. upload it to MEGA or any other reliable cloud service
            3. house fire destroys your drives or CDs
            4. download disc images from your MEGA account onto your drives

    usb drives made discs obsolete for data transportation, and streaming made discs obsolete for entertainment. cheap hard drives made discs obsolete for long term storage. the internet got faster, and you could install a game faster than a disc could operate. the world moved on.

    Discs are digital too, there's no difference between having a game on a disc and a drive. People were giving it up for DRM (Steam, consoles) well before physical media lost favor. If you're locked into DRM anyway there's no reason to pay for someone to copy the files to a disc and mail it to you and downloading it directly from steam/PSN/xbox other than convenience.

    No custom generated individual CD key labeled and printed on to sticker paper and added to 1 specific disc envelope

    No shipping to individual retailors
    No advertising spent in those retail locations
