I have bought two secondhand copies of a fairly common Wii game and both of them were scratched to the point of being unreadable (hexbear.net)

Anti-piracy Nintendo paypigs have failed to consider how effective the wear and tear aspect of data rot is at eroding media preservation

Soon all discs will be unrecognizable piles of scrap metal, with boxes so covered in sticky indiscernible but definitively gross nonsense, or sealed in the collections of collector's basements until the plastic finally erodes away under God's next great flood to punish everyone who prefers Pokemon Fire Red over Leaf Green. The Wii Shop is gone, how are we supposed to play these games legally in the future barring an overpriced Nintendo Switch port? I bought a used copy of Smash Bros. for the Wii and it wouldn't work. Sorrow.
