A recent discovery regarding a defect in Warner Bros. DVDs has shed light on a troubling phenomenon known as disc rot, which poses a significant threat to physical game collections worldwide. This condition, which leads to the deterioration of optical discs, raises concerns for collectors and gamers alike, especially as many classic games are stored on these vulnerable mediums.
Disc rot occurs when the layers of a disc begin to break down, often resulting in data loss and rendering the games unplayable. While the issue has primarily been associated with DVDs, it is now becoming evident that many older video game discs are also at risk. As time passes, the likelihood of encountering this problem increases, jeopardizing the preservation of beloved titles.
Game enthusiasts are urged to take proactive measures to protect their collections, including proper storage and handling techniques. As the gaming community grapples with this unsettling reality, the future of physical media hangs in the balance, prompting discussions about the longevity and viability of digital alternatives.
