      Seriously? Maybe it’s just cuz I was a poor kid who had to play the same games a shit ton but I went through at least 5 different disks in my time that I can think of just from playing them too hard.

      Something closer to to 50 for disks that were scratched from other shit, though that’ll include music CDs and DVDs too

        The only disk that I ever had get destroyed because of my own incompetence. Was a copy of the first season of Stargate SG one, it was actually the first disc of that season. And what happened was I left it outside of its case, in an area that allowed the sun to go across it every single day for about a month and a half.

        It discolored the disk, and also made it unplayable , had to buy a new one.

        That was fully on me.

        Many of my games that I played in the late 90s and early 2000s I would play over and over and over and over again, never scratched them.
