Probably not a thread I'm going to get sincere replies from, but I'll ask anyway.
In the late 00s and early 2010s I collected a bunch of Gamecube games and hardware, the only console I really went full coomsumer autist mode on. Have about 60 unique titles, most of the heavy hitters like Fire Emblem, Pokemon XD, etc.
Is disc rot for any generation of games actually documented thoroughly anywhere? Is it actually a meme? I've been thinking about selling off the games since it's worth like 5x or more what I paid for it and owner the games give me no joy, but it continues to go up and up in value and I don't really need the money.

Genius or charlatan? Or just lucky?

In a defiant act of fate, Gunpei Yokoi avoids the speeding car sent to hit him by Yamauchi, suffering a broken rib instead. Surviving the attack on his life, Yokoi realises that he is now number one on Nintendo’s shitlist, high above Sony and Sega. Gathering a team of hit detectives, he convinces courts of Nintendo’s wrongdoings and their Yakuza ties, leading to a massive hit in popularity and support for the company. In secret, he and his team continue work on the Wonderswan which arrives on the scene a year early than expected. With the colossal hit into their reputation, many of Nintendo’s third party teams leave the company with Game Freak moving under Bandai’s leadership. Pocket Monsters Red and Green are developed for the Wonderswan instead, and quickly explode in popularity. The Game Boy simply cannot keep up and fades away, as does the N64 which bombs on launch, as the Wonderswan comes to dominate the market. As punishment for his disobedience, Yamauchi is forced to sever his pinky finger, further increasing evidence of his Yakuza background and plummeting Nintendo support further (his claims that he lost it in a freak gardening accident fool nobody). Satisfied with dominating the handheld industry, Yokoi shifts attention to the home market and develops the Yokoivision system which sells extremely well, coming in second place after the PS2. The TSE eventually delists Nintendo from the exchange. Yokoi goes on to live a successful and happy life before he is tragically killed by a Yakuza hitman (who witnesses eventually identified as Satoru Iwata), who shoots him 18 times at point blank range. The incident sends shockwaves throughout the industry and a five year mourning period is established by the Japanese government. The remnants of Nintendo, now consisting of rogue programmers and former suits, now calling themselves the ‘Sons of Mario’ are classified as a terror cell leading to a widespread crackdown on them that continues to this day
