Why can't they just use pic related? Make it look like a cartridge for le heckin wholesome homage and rape it with DRM somehow. This will save them a lot of money on proprietary discs and disc readers, or the alternative of supporting even more users who download and then delete hundreds of games a year.

Depending on the manufacturing process of those discs, quite possibly. But if they've gone the usual Sony route where a significant portion of any blank Blu-ray disc sale goes to royalties and payments to movie studios for movies that you "might" burn onto the disc, it's no surprise it's going the way of Betamax and Memorystick.

MiniDisc can still make a comeback if they use the new high-density discs. The size seems right, even for movies and video games.

I would love to, but a flash drive would cost 10x more than a disk of equivalent size.
Nintendo sells picrel, which is ROM (I think?) and it's much more expensive than Blurays. I gotta admit, it's much more magical than using disks or cloud services. Makes me feel I'm playing a GameBoy

so what if you're not into roleplaying? I mainly like old-school arena shooters and single player campaign shooters and most recent games are shit because nobody else but a small niche still enjoys Quake and because people can't write for shit these days (as also witnessed in film&tv; i don't care for politics in and of itself but writers at least used to hide their propaganda in a tasty sausage before 2010 or so)
>>
>>101232810
>Makes me feel I'm playing a GameBoy
you're not, though. You're playing some lame ARM device that actually runs an operating system between the hardware and your games. Who would by a console only to get cucked like that? On a gameboy (and any other real console) this rom is memory-mapped and the game boots straight from ROM, no OS, no filesystem, just memory mapped assembly. At least a computer offers something in return for playing your own game in front of you (productivity) but what meaningful feature has WiiOS ever offered you aside of hogging cpu time?
>>
>>101220649
honestly it doesn't make sense to me that you should have a piece of hardware for a piece of digital data
your data should be saved on your hardware that you bought for this purpose
what should instead be talked about is how you don't geta usable copy (a file) when you buy a movie but just a license to stream it, they should fix that

blu-rays are too expensive.
when CDs or DVDs where a big thing you got movies and music for like 5-10$. new blurays now cost 25$ or sometimes even more.
Why would I EVER pay that much for physical media when the download costs like 9.99 and I just save the files on my harddrives
>>
>>101231128
There aren't any user-writable UMDs, there aren't any UMD PC drives (internal or external), and there aren't any devices which use UMD at all besides the PSP.
>>
>>101220734
- Cost. Consoles are way cheaper than a PC that can handle a modern title at smooth 60 fps
- Convenience. Most people don't want to bother installing anything, they want things to just work after they plop into their couch and start the console up
- Larger customer pool. Believe it or not some people don't have PCs at home/can't afford them/don't know how to use them, but they want to play games, so they buy consoles, there's also another category of people only using PCs for work and only playing on consoles, because they associate PCs (actual sitting at the computer) with work and chores.

one could make a case that we lost physical media in gen 6
like the game might be still on disc, but you still need to copy it on the console's drive (automatic and unskippable proccess) and then, as it became common today, download any patches that came out for that game while the disc is still on the 1.0 version (it doesn't mean that it's literally unplayable without patches, but there was a reason to push them anyway).
Before the game went golden and you kept the game as is, now publishers leave games on life support until it becomes not profitable.
Pckeks gave up physical a long time ago and I don't see people living in pods and owning le nothing (yet /v/ freaks out each time steam is down because let's face it, your tranny slav has been defeated by denuvo and people want to play actual games and not 15 year old garbage and purchase them from safe sources)

these are a replacment for tape drives, for archival storage. And that cold fusion video never mentions tape drives because it makes the whole thing a nothingburger. Magnetic tapes are being replaced finally by optical discs. This happened in consumer tech 30 years ago, enterprise just takes longer. These disks can hold 3x the amount of current 2yr old tape drives. By the time the technology releases maybe it will hold 2x or 1.5x.
Its literally only revolutionary tech if you dont compare it to its actual competitor.

DOOM: Eternal if you want high FPS at a high resolution on max settings.
Quake Champions still runs like ass if I don't fractuon the resolution and use medium settings, though. I'm wondering if that's a CPU issue, since one of the lead engine devs for D:E said fixing CPU scheduling was the biggest breakthrough they had for performance on the DOOM games, and QC doesn't use that engine, unfortunately.

By itself? No. The problem is what it invites: becoming a shittier locked-down PC covered in ads, service upsells and push media that you have to rent your own internet connection from.
>>101240185
He means hardware backup tools that extract the save to a PC. Things like Action Replay. It's important to understand that GB/GBC/GBA cart memory isn't flash. It's volatile, with a battery. Once it dies(or if you replace it) the data is lost. Takes 10-20 years, but it's inevitable. You can replace the battery ofc but it will die again in another decade, so you have to keep backups.
