Even Physical Games Won't Last Forever...
96The passage of time will no doubt damage your games collection. The concept of disc rot or the deterioration of disc games naturally over time is still new. However no doubt, there is going to be more and more semi-scratched games in the wild.
To preserve your collection long term, you need to convert those physical games into digital files - because the physicals games will not be a reliable solution long term. If you can convert your games into digital files, you will be able to easily move them from one backup hard drive to the next in a universal file system for the foreseeable future. This is the only true way to protect your collection long term.

I've been making videos on this channel since 2013. A lot has changed since then, but today I make videos for the same reason someone may keep a diary.
It's to track and chronicle the things I am interested in at various points of my life. These videos are something for me to be able to look back on.
So why are you here? Because video games are fun and worth sharing! If that's a journey you want to be a part of, like the video and subscribe to the channel.
