I like collecting physical media of all kinds (books, games, movies, discs) but its mostly just physical license keys now.

Even 4K blu-rays have internet connection requirements...

DRM-free digital copies that can run on open-source software like proton or an emulator. Multiple copies on different production batches, manufacturers, and types of media at different sites.

Individual disks rot, data rotated across redundant disks will last forever. That's how you preserve games for the next generation.
