    I’m curious what PlayStation fans would think about changing from a disc plus download, like it is now, to a cartridge like Switch uses?

    I think it would be a thousand times easier to get Sony on board with that idea.

        I’m struggling to understand what this would achieve as well. They’re objectively more expensive to manufacture.

          Well there’s an argument that plays right into their hands. Nothing at all is even cheaper.

          Whose side are you on here, anyway?

            I’m pro physical media, but real physical media, not not key cards, not code in a box, not requiring an always on connection, not full base game but DLC is a code.

            I think all games should be able to work in perpetuity without any external validation or activation across it’s entire life.

            Hope that clears things up.

              If that’s the case then I hate to tell you that the war left without you, like 15-20 years ago. And we, consumers, lost.

              There is/was a time that game size was way bigger than media could conveniently handle. I think we are or will be past that soonish.

              I’m not saying you’re wrong, I just think all the outrage could be better applied.
