Quote:The fact is, I have a number of old game disks I've played off and on ever since I got them that are in perfect condition.
Yes, and as I said, the same is true for me. Most of my PC game CDs still work fine, no matter how old they are. Of the ones that don't, not counting discs that I GOT nonfunctional (yes, that happened to me, not once but twice) one was destroyed by a CD drive years ago (BGI disc 2), four are those Blizzard discs (BW, TFT, SC, Diablo II play disc)... a few others have some scratch issues too, I think, but the Blizzard RTS discs are almost certainly the worst (other than that poor Baldur's Gate disc, of course). How can you deny that use has something to do with it when three of the most-used discs are among the most scratched? Are you seriously saying that it's just a coincidence? That's silly...
