MODERATORS
The disc is a physical license you have the right to resell.
It's a moot point when the disc, alone, does not guarantee a playable game.
That's more of a long term game preservation issue than anything else right now. Losing the disc means you lose the right to resell the license.
People should have had huge campaigns to allow for reselling digital licenses many years ago. Focusing on talking about wanting discs wasn’t enough.
In fact, wasn’t there a judgement about Steam libraries?
