Curious as to how many others do this, or if I am just crazy. Anyone else buy physical copies of games and movies and play/watch a pirated version to keep the original product sealed? Do you have a different method or do something similar?

Yes. I do this with switch games, in 10-15 years time those games will still be worth what I paid, if not more. I have some collectors editions and limited runs that are already worth 3-4x what I paid for them

Unless they are the same quality as 3DS cartridges and just die without any interaction.

Why not? It is legal in some countries(or all?), to “reclaim” a digital copy if you own the original. Who would jugde you?
