Five years from now, you'll be posting a thread that says "Do you ever wish physical gaming would come back?
Seriously though I'd love carts to come back
I loathe that day. I know it's coming, but luckily, for now, gamers still seem to want physical media, more so than music or movie fans.
Yep.
But I kinda want to have my cake and eat it.
Ideally I'd like durable but updatable physical media.
Something like SD only physically larger so it's not so easy to lose.
It shouldn't be able to be haphazardly deleted or overwritten but it should be able to be updated (patches, dlc, etc).
One could argue this exists now with hard drives and digital, but that's only partly true. If a hard drive could be used across consoles and include all the os updates then it'd be all good.
I seriously worry that a lot of these "physical game" discs I have will be less playable or outright useless at some point when I need to use a different console that can't get the required updates because the servers have long since been taken offline.
Think LBP for PSP.
