Comment on A site for making physical releases out of digital games

  If you want the game to last forever, it assumes you’ve already got it sourced from somewhere DRM-free, where you can continually copy it to other healthy media. Nothing lasts forever, but this is meant to replicate a lot of the strengths of old consoles, fortunately without some of their own pitfalls like save batteries.

    SSTech requires power to maintain cells.
    What need is liberated schematics Blu-ray burner+ readers, so you can burn even a small cast, and reread until your descendants^100^ make another copy.

      Doesn’t recordable optical media also have a pretty limited lifespan? Unlike commercially produced discs, where the pits are pressed into the plastic, CD/DVD/BD-Rs just have a dye that is made to change colour with a laser, and that dye degrades over time.

        Not inorganic BDs.

        Whatever u do, never expose dyes to sunlight.

        Even pressed disc can rot. Like many WB Blu-Rays were made with a faulty process and many will rot in the next few decades.
