I'm also tired of hearing about disc rot. The vast majority of people just repeat it like a meme and have never experienced it first hand. It affected a fraction of CDs and a much smaller fraction of DVDs. Blu-rays will outlive you. Most "rot" is the result of manufacturing defects where the glue layer separates, and they recognized this after CDs and made significant improvements with each subsequent disc generation.
Also, nearly 90% of physical games do not require a download to play and complete.
None of this is to say you shouldn't enjoy digital games or rip your media. I just want people to stop unintentionally spreading misinformation.
