Well if you're super "hardcore" you could spend the time to make ISO's of all those discs.I am not a fan of subscription models. But it is interesting to me that I have a ton of games I own on physical media for which I do not own a reader anymore.
Obviously, I can attach one, but the ever-increasingly ephemeral nature of media and accessibility is very interesting / scary.
I still have picture books printed all the time, even though I have a bunch of online storage. Books are not forever either, but they are much harder to remove by a 3rd party.
And going forward buy everything on GOG and also download all of your games there.
It's just that truthfully we're incentivized to not, because who wants to have 10's of TB of uninstalled games they have to maintain? But if you're paranoid and an archivist, then it's a thing you can do.
