What procedures do you take to save and archive your games?
For example; GOG games - what happens if they were to shutdown their busieness. How would you archive these games if you had to?

simple, I mean realistically if a major store were to get shut down they would give you a heads up and a chance to download your games.
Sunny, Yeah fair point
OprahsedCreature, Blu-rays are a viable backup medium for long-term storage
SidewaysHighways, No bdrot?
OprahsedCreature, I mean, you should always check your backups and make 2 for good measure, but supposedly some of these newer ones are made for archival and claim between 10-100 years. Never trust such claims without verification but if true could be the best thing for archival besides punching bits in stone.
Flamekebab, I don't, because if that happens either others will have done a more thorough job (because it's something they care about - I have my own obsessive areas that I'm the one doing that stuff for), or if they haven't then I have much bigger problems to deal with (e.g. war in Europe).
