I don’t understand why there isn’t an industry of selling pirate copies of official games. What I mean is buying an official copy of the game, “image” the disc, and press 1:1 copies for cost + a couple dollars.
Why didn’t that happen? Are there technical issues preventing this from working? I can’t think it’s a matter of cost, BRD can’t cost that much to make at scale.
- nchi3 4y agoNot sure how it works exactly (I'm sure someone else in this thread can fill in!), but that hasn't ever been possible on consoles. Not even the very first Playstation which used CDs would accept copies out of the box.
- ornornor 4y agoI think PS1 CDs had data written in an area (early?) consumer CDR writers couldn’t reach. I don’t know about PS4/5 games.
