Yea, so this doesn’t exist, but should it?

Think about:

  • TheMovieDB style identifiers with box art
  • Auto-generated and/or community created and upvoted DVD labels, case inserts, or USB/SSD stickers you can print yourself (no reason physical media has to be “round”)
  • Automated scripts for generating local media savers/installers from GOG and Steam

This doesn’t seem like a very difficult thing to create for the niche community of people that want physical copies.

    Even pressed discs can rot. Like many WB Blu-Rays were made with a faulty process and many will rot in the next few decades.

      All things decay, not even the doping of ROM chips will last forever, but I think the average lifespan of recorded optical media is like, 10 years? That feels rather short.
