How will you cope with the inevitable death of physical media?
>>
The same way I always do. By laughing at retards on /v who make threads about it.
>>
>>720792457
By not caring because I don't need a bunch of bullshit cluttering up my house.

It was going to happen at some point, and when it happens I'll be forced into digital purchases kicking and screaming. Until then I will go out of my way to order physical copies.
>>
I will just cease to own my games for free lol.
>>
>>720792457
I'll stop buying new games. That's how

>he didn't already
What games do you even buy?
>>
>>720793767
Old games, if it's on PC I make physical backups using the Steam backup feature or the GOG installers.
Practically the only new games I buy these days are from SEGA.
>>
>>720792457
Nigga I am on PC.
I havent used physical media in over a decade.
>>
>>720793951
I don't care if you've been a goycattle for a decade

What's a good format to use for physical backups of PC games? DVD-Rs? SD Cards? Flash Drives?
>>
>>720792457
You will own nothing, goy.
>>
already confirmed MUCH weaker than the nextbox. pass.
>>
>>720794123
A NAS instead of making singular flash drives or SD cards dedicated to such a thing so that even if some drives fail the data is still fine. You're going to run into potential bit rot if you leave a flash drive or SD card unused for several years sitting in a drawer, especially on ones of larger capacities.

The legitimate method for doing it nowadays is flash drives. Evenicle did it that way if I remember right.
>>
>>720793930
Same here. The only new game I plan to buy is Virtua Fighter 6. I haven't gotten very many games in recent times. I've sort of tuned out though to be fair.
I think I will start backing up games physically myself.
>>
>>720792457
