DVD and Blu-ray media are vanishing from stores because these studios want you to subscribe to shitty streaming services and never own your content. Buy your favorites physical now!

.... And pirate the rest you don't care for as much

Remember.... physical is king as drives don't last forever

All my Sega CD/PS2 games stopped working because of use during 2010s. It's when I stopped buying physical media.

Where with hard drives, the last forever if you follow a proper cloning/backup ritual.
