At some point does it make sense to use Blu Rays?
I have a No Man’s Sky disk. Like 5% of the code on that disk is in the production game today. It’s online only, so I couldn’t even play it with the disk.
Cartridges do kinda make sense, you could patch the game on them (in theory), they can come in much larger sizes than disks too.
Side note: modern gaming is shit.
I bought Spyro and couldn’t even play it without agreeing to a privacy policy. It’s a single player offline game from the PS1 era. I installed The Sims 4, I can’t even play without an EA account. I tried Assassin’s Creed and you need an Ubisoft account to open the game.
Shit is fucking stupid.
Pretty sure it has the 2016 version of NMS on it. Booted up a ps4 install with it to try and couch co-op only to look around and ask why the UI was so different from what I was used to. It had internet access we thought but it can't have or it would have installed whatever the latest patch is. It was surreal seeing pillars of Emeril again.
But you point yes, gaming single player offline is a joke now with DRM requiring single player online. We ripped EA Simcity for this. Simcity died to City:Skylines because it became such a movement.
Blu-ray for movies are great, they can store a lot more that DVDs
If AI wasn't making SSD prices so outrageous right now, an SSD-based cartridge system would make a lot of sense. They could be made in a variety of sizes, to accommodate games with different filesystem footprints, and if the SSDs in them have tolerable performance, they could be played directly off the cartridge, without needing to 'install' anything -- just insert and go.
