So, I tried asking this question on Reddit, and all I got back were trolls and unserious replies. 😒
So, does anyone know how I can remove the sticker residue on these games without accidentally rubbing the factory codes off?

...can't say for certain that it won't lift some ink, but on other materials i take a piece of clear packing tape, press it smooth against the surface then violently lift it off; repeat dozens of times...
...it's slow going to start, and you'll need a fresh piece of packing tape as the adhesive eventually gets cluttered with paper-label residue, but after 2-6 pieces of tape and dozens of rips, you'll eventually lift away everything which isn't integral with the plastic surface...
...it's more work than solvents or oils but it keeps your base material absolutely pristine...
