For example; GOG games - what happens if they were to shutdown their busieness. How would you archive these games if you had to?

    I mean, you should always check your backups and make 2 for good measure, but supposedly some of these newer ones are made for archival and claim between 10-100 years. Never trust such claims without verification but if true could be the best thing for archival besides punching bits in stone.

        Sounds like those old bdr’s should be checked and possibly rearchived 😂. I think the Blu-ray M-Discs are the ones that claim the longevity.
