Tech Tangents did a video on disc games where either the DRM server is down or incompatible with the disk (e.g. the disc games requires an unsupported version of Steam). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZYy9KzFT2w

It's about PC games rather than console though, after Microsoft got huge backlash when they proposed online DRM for their discs and Sony said "we work offline!" and the PS4 crushed the XBone, that killed that idea for a couple more years
