"Oh no! Someone figured out how to make black discs again and there's a wave of counterfeit PS1 games hitting the secondhand channels! This might ruin the secondhand market!"
Good, game collecting prices are fucking stupid. If they play back in a normal PS1 (this is unclear) then they're good enough. If flooding the market with very-hard-to-distinguish counterfeits is what it takes to get away from $100USD+ used game prices then, so be it.
Not that it matters a ton for optical games since all of the discs and laser mechs are going to be having a BAD time within another decade. It's going to be very funny when a lot of people, who only spent a large sum of money on old games because they considered it an "investment" and a "valuable asset" that they could cash in on at some point in the future, and no desire to actually play any of the games on that actual media, find themselves hoarding a bunch of low value plastic that no longer can serve any functional purpose past looking pretty on a shelf.
