You can find an external DVD RW drive for under $20 online. Then you can rip your disks into ISO images and play them any time.
At what point do you not just pirate the game that you already own?
Actually you can legally download torrents of games that you already own.
You can download them sure, I think seeding makes things less legal.
In what jurisdiction?
Pretty sure it's a federal determination. You can't be pirating if you have the rights to the property.
Are you talking about the US?
Yes. On Earth, adjacent to Sol.
I just wanted to know what jurisdiction. I know Americans take it for granted that the US is the default lol
It's also just about the only country in the world where these things are enforced.
Not even remotely true lol
Steam used to allow you to convert certain physical games to digital if you put the CD key into Steam's "Add a Non-Steam Game" menu.
It wasn't all games but quite a few, so if you're sitting on a big physical library this is a legitimate option.
