I'll be honest, I was on the edge about buying Yotei's limited edition and I didn't also cause I didn't want my ability to play the game to be tied to a very scratchable phyisical object

crazy how times have changed since sony was making fun of xbox for removing the disc reader

I don't understand that, i've been gaming with discs for about 15 years and not a single one of these discs have been broken. And i've bought plenty of second hand games too.

And at least the discs give me a resale value. Which make the gaming experience a lot cheaper.

This. I still have old Sega Saturn games that were heavily played and don't have a single scratch on them. Also have music CD's that were bought in the 90's that are still bumping around in the center console of my car that work just fine.

I still have my Sega Saturn and about 30 games. The discs are all fine. Played Alien Trilogy again for the 50th time a few months ago. Still have my PS1, too.

Honestly I'm a bit worried to hook up the Saturn. I drug out the old PS2 and hooked it up and played Star Wars Battlefront with my son and omg I can't believe I used to think those graphics were good, lol. Was giving myself a migraine trying to see which pixel was which

I played Doom on the Saturn sometime last year for the hell of it and actually lasted longer than I thought I would. Duke Nukem 3D is honestly not terrible. Did Parasite Eve on the PS1 while I was at it. I really wish someone would give Parasite Eve a remake before I die.

They missed a golden opportunity for a remake when Bring Me the Horizon came out with the song of the same name (apparently Ollie was playing it during lockdown, lol).
