Aren't these also subject to disk rot?
- kfprt 5y agoDisk rot is slower than online service rot. The other day I tried FC3 blood dragon and it had an error because they shut the servers down. It hasn't even been 10 years.
- AdmiralAsshat 5y agoIt's certainly a possibility, but anecdotally, I have audio CDs from the late 80s that still play. Meanwhile, I have games I played 3-4 years ago on the PS3 that are severely hampered because the online components no longer work--the servers were either shut down, or in one case the company completely went under.
