      It’s not just harder. It’s impossible. Physical media is yours, and the license to view is not revocable. You do own the media.

        Many games have online DRM, so even if you have them on disk, one day they will stop working.

          Only on PC. And pc games don’t really have physical releases. On console this isn’t a thing unless the game requires an online server because it’s a multiplayer game

        (Within the limits of IP laws. In some countries, making a personal backup of a DVD is an illegal act. Breaking DRM to do so may be a separate illegal act, again depending on jurisdiction. Neither is immoral of course, but that doesn’t stop lawmakers and judges from kissing the slimy boots of corporate lobbyists.)
