Interestingly, CyberSix is not available on LaserDisc, HD-DVD, HDVS, W-VHS or D-VHS but was only released on regular VHS, DVD & blu-ray.

The VHS version seems particularly obscure...

The first two minutes of this video alone is exactly why physical media won't save us from games and media being destroyed by companies: https://tube.gayfr.online/w/98HSCyGwBU47C7ACMUXdwK

No, having a physical disk will not stop a company from remotely bricking your game. It's a red herring.

Here's a New York Times article which talks about the process that one company goes through to preserve valuable recordings. It seems that tapes from before 1970 have fewer problems, a lot of tapes from the 70s and 80s are deteriorating fairly quickly. (Gift link)
