I keep all my games backed up on a drive

Enjoy your disc rot bro

The entire Vita, N64, PS3, PS4, PS5 and Switch 2 library on one shelf. Impressive.

100 more years and two weeks and all discs will rot

>>712809547 (OP)
But I've got like 50 or 60 older pc titles on disc as well... as well as 200 vhs 600 DVD and another 200 Blu ray. And I've archived all of it. And when I do buy games, it's for literal pennies while on steep sale, or off something like G2A, then I download the game and personally strip steam from it so I can actually keep em.
>inb4 G2A is a scam blah blah blah
Never had a purchase revoked in all my 100+ purchases through it.

Why do console owners feel the need to justify their purchases to us PC owners?

sorry for your loss anon

>>712810214
Everything physical is a point of failure. My HDDs and SSDs will eventually die. So will your discs and carts. I can redownload all those console games whenever I want, and anything irreplaceable is cloud backed up.

>>712810369
>So will your discs and carts.
two more weeks

>>712810286
they kvetch about consoles and can't decide which ps1 30 year old rom to play on their expensive battlestation so they end up shitposting on 4chan instead
and if they decide to play video games it's console ports and online trash like dota which is pajeet central

in 100 years yeah
>I can redownload all those console games whenever I want
do you expect game to keep the store open for 100 years?
>and anything irreplaceable is cloud
keep owning nothing

>>712809547 (OP)
You won't play any of those

>>712810316
No loss though nerd. I regularly boot them up from disc still and I purchased most of them over fifteen years ago. All are pre steam titles as well. And I scanned all my game discs in essentially turning them into digital installers, so what's the issue?

>>712810421
Maybe, or shit can happen and some fails while you're shitposting. It's not something you can bank on, which is why people back up data with redundancy.
>two more weeks and their data will fail
You're a faggot.

None a this matters

>>712810497
it's a random inernet picture, I never buy games just to keep them sealed, I play that shit

a complete waste of money and space when homebrew is a thing

oh noes!

>>712811161
Oh noes! And I can install it faster!

>>712811317
Actually this completely depends on your internet speed. If you archive your pc discs like I do, it doesn't have to read from disc itself, but from whatever drive you've stored it on. So install speeds are wicked fast.

>>712811419
Why waste local space when I have it stored in the cloud?

>>712811471
>[microsoft liked that]

>>712811471
>when I have it stored in the cloud?
it's almost like pclards enjoy getting the corporate boot up their ass every time they want to do trivial things like playing video games or saving files

>>712811471
Local space? You don't have a 4tb external book that you store it all on? I've even got them backed up onto LTO drives for further safe keeping. You realize how many companies went out of business flat out because they trusted the cloud? Let me guess, you let your neighbor fuck your wife for you too?

>>712811582
Nta, but it's almost like you're hyper focused on "pclards". How much do you weigh anon?

>>712811582
I enjoy redundancy and data safety that's not feasible for a regular dude. Cloud storage has backups upon backups upon backups in different regional locations. It's just smart.
>>712811629
I have a few 16TB hard drives outside of my media server, but there's no point in backing up games I barely play when I can retrieve them at 1.3gbit.

>>712811471
What if they revoke your access one day?

>>712811695
>paying to store, paying to upload, paying to download them again
And this makes sense to you? I mean I get the backing up aspect but it's as simple as that company going out of business and you're FUCKED and get fuckall. This has happened quite a few times regarding cloud services. Doesn't matter how many drives they've saved your data to.

>>712810214
do you know what a CD or DVD or a floppy disk is?!

>>712809547 (OP)
I have both, and therefore am better than you.

>>712811847
>>712811849
The likelihood of both those eventualities is incredibly low if you deal with a major provider. Google, AWS, and Azure are pretty much here to stay, and "revoking my access" would only happen if I didn't pay or uploaded something obviously illegal and they browse my data (or if I were a CP hoarder and uploaded a known hash, but I'm not).

>>712811682
sitting at a pc all day is correlated with being overweight, hence the pclard (also pc fat and pc cuck) nickname given to pc players

Is this a thread? Why must everything turn into forcibly picking sides? Why can't both? You guys sound like leftists vs rightoids. Which again, why the separatism? Everyone turning against everyone despite all our similar interests (veeyogaymes)

>>712812838
tribalism

>>712812838
People are getting dumber. Reading comprehension has dropped, so subtlety and nuance are not understood. There's good, and there's evil. You're good, and anyone who disagrees with you is evil and a literal nazi.

>>712812838
>pick the side of owning nothing
anon?
if you pirate games and backup your sht you are obviously outside of this discussion
on the other hand if you pay for air and Mr. Goydenberg's permission to rent a digital loicense (regardless if console or pc, but obviously on pc they adopted it first) you are an idiot and anyone trying to justify this is a homosexual fatoid

>>712812928
:(
>>712813020
Why can't people just NOT care what others opinions are? Like I don't give any sort of fucks regarding what others think. And why would I? It's hardly going to change the things I like.
>what, you don't like x? Yeah, well FUCK YOU NIGGER
I laugh and cri both anons...

This kind of shit anon. I personally pirate, Back up, etc. In fact this is me >>712810229 but again, why lower yourself to attacking the "other side". You only ever instigate hate and further rivalry which won't and can't solve anything in this instance other than the opposing side further solidifying their opinion on such things. Why can't we all just get along and BE

>>712813214
Nta but I'm a librarian. Humidity can cause mold and can ruin an entire collection (not the discs at all though) faster than you'd imagine. Proper storage is just as important as wiping your ass. Kek forgot where I was, you guys wouldn't know.

Ah, I thought the games and whatnot causes more humidity in the room, and I was confused. That what you said makes absolute sense. Don't worry, I do not have such a display as OPs picrel. Thanks Librarian. Which chapter are you from, battle-brother?
