Probably dust particles and slight rotation while in the backpack.

    Oh this takes me back

    Likely a slightly warped CD case with a grippy bit in the middle that’s undersized. Which means the discs can rotate and then collide with the case. But key to the scratches is the undersized grippy thing, a good case won’t let your discs spin.

    Cheap cases have been doing that since I was a kid and I burned my first CDs back in the day. Nothing quite like being the cool kid with a CD burner back in the day.

    God I’m getting old.

    Are you sure it’s the case and not the dvd player? My old PS2 would scratch the disks with its lens and made circular scratches similar to this.

      I ruined so many games that way. Once or twice was me bumping the Ps2. Other than that it was just being a petty fuck.
