- Mordisquitos 5y agoThat is of course true, but nothing lasts forever. The disc may deteriorate, or be stolen, or their house might burn down, but that's life. At least by owning the physical disc, GP commenter can take full responsibility of its condition and accept the risks of "shit happens", rather than being at the mercy of arbitrary decisions or failures of a remote faceless organisation or of its future owners/creditors.
