discs die too. I had Diablo III as the only game in my Xbox One for about three years, never even removed it, as it was the only physical I owned. Around the start of the pandemic the Xbox wouldn't register the disc anymore and wouldn't start Diablo II.

Discs can't just die because of how they're professionally pressed. Basically data on the disk is represented by tiny holes or pits physically present in the thread of the data layer. Something had to have happened to the disc if it's not working anymore.

the drive still reads blurays without problem. It just won't read my Diablo 3 disc.

I didn't say anything about the disc drive. I said something has to be wrong with the disc.
