Explain to me why this wouldn't work.
>>743412293add the price of an SSD to each game
>>743412293
>>743412293Im not a mentally ill cuck hos obsessed over physical plastic crap. I prefer digital

>>743412293can someone explain to me why retards think discs and cartridges are more "physical" than a hard drive
>Bro can I borrow your COD physical copy
>>743412293slow loading speeds>>743412367you can get 120gb chink ssd for around $6 each in bulk
questions you can ask chatgpt
>>743412293>Explain to me why this wouldn't workBut it does work. The problem is each of those is an entire SSD and paying for a cheap one means it will kill itself in 3 years flat unlike any disc media that lasts much longer.
>>743412293Retards unironically argue that it doesn't count if the media is rewriteable or if the media isn't manufactured WITH the data. I'm not joking
>>743412693They've got a pretty picture on them
>>743412693Because major corpos have actively worked to degrade customer rights and customer's perceptions of their rights. If you think that there is less value and fewer rights attached to something, then you fight less for it.When software copyright became a thing in the 80s, corpos immediately started forcing you to buy licenses and forfeit your rights with EULAs in the form of shrinkwrap licenses, and while these were judged to be invalid in the US, there wasn't really anything that prevented corpos from continuing to force you to agree to pointless EULAs anyway until legislation started backsliding on it and ceding to EULAs.In the EU at least EULAs aren't enforceable and due to the Usedsoft v. Oracle case the right of first sale applies equally to physical discs and digital downloads when it comes to single seat, perpetually licensed software downloads, so you have full ownership of the game regardless (provided it has no DRM, uses no externally hosted corpo services and is running on a computer you own).
>>743412293Nobody wants to subsidize the drive, remind you, that 30% fee originated from the times when the platform owner physically produced cartridges and discs.
>>743412293it could, but it's not their business model.
>>743412693A cartridge means something I can actually hold in my hand and own. That's as physical as it gets unlike digital which is just an illusion of ownership unless you pirate it.
>>743414938you can own and hold your hdd, it's a physical thingthe data is digital, it's digital in cartridges and discs too
>>743412293would buy
>>743412293It does work, it's just really stupid. You're better off installing all of your games, plugging in the cracked steam-api dll and calling it a day
>>743412293>nixie clockthis is a guy who just loves burning money on inconsequential shit
why do people larp about "what if steam goes down" cracking steam games has never been challenging
>>743414938You've never held a hard drive?
Yound Bluds rediscovering floppy disk culture. Ideally every PC should have 2 or more SD card readers and a proper ready to run rom formats.Mac is has an app folder format right? But they didn't invent it, RiscOS OS, which Arm chips came from, also had it over 35 years ago. Linux has appimage but it sucks because it doesn't attempt to solve the problems that it introduces, such as compatibility for one. Microslop put their thumb up their ass and let the industry shit out installer programs that leave stinky messes behind
>>743412293The big concern is how much more you could be putting on each of these even though the story did point out they're like 128GB each. And while the data won't typically easily entropy from disuse since I presume all the SSDs are in good health, there's only so much you can plausibly do for that before this becomes more of a money sink than it already is.
>>743415743Sony will go down long before steam for lots of obvious reasons
>>743412762>$6 eachthat's more than i spend on the game
>>743412293physical larpers are so cringe holy shit, the only sensible way for pc games to be physical is to put the gog installer on a USB and put the usb in a cute box
>>743412762>you can get 120gb chink ssd for around $6 each in bulkIn what fucking reality? If its this one please teach me thy ways, oh zanzibart
>Thats whats Mustards do in their free time>Emulate the feeling having consolesMan you guys pathetic
>>743415521just say you're poor bro
>>743412293>nailpolishSpeedrunner?
>>743412762No that's a 2gb flash drive with dodgy firmware that makes your PC think its 120gb
>>743412293Transfer speed
>>743412293this is actually pretty cool. I'd like to integrate it into my setup, but I am sure it's not practical.
Why not use USB flash drives?
>>743412293Explain to me why you would want it to work?>My friends can't play my games for free!Yes they can.
>>743416859>>743418546check Alibaba
>>743418951Go and buy one then report back
>>743418908Too small and convenient, it wouldn't signal loudly enough how much of a retarded consoomer faggot I am.
>>743412762No you cant wtf is this nonsense.
>>743412293Those drives will most likely die way faster than a disc.
>>743418951You are buying fire hazard usb drives hidden under a fake box. Some might still have dolphin porn on them.
>>743418975>>743419178That's where the OP redditor got them, paid $7 each
>>743412293it does work.
>>743412293why epic store/gog doesn't release games on blu rays discs with map/booklet if they want to compete with steam's digital store? i can see tim taking the idea if he hates gaben so much
>>743419885hell why not game cards ala switch 2?
Using full SSDs would be the same as using Lithium-ion batteries for disposable vapes. It would just be incredibly wasteful.
>>743419885It took timmy 2 years to implement a shopping cart on a digital store and you want them to try physical releases?
>>743412762>you can get 120gb chink ssd for around $6 each in bulkNo you can't
>>743418951+3 EUR per each drive. Thanks EU
why are we still using bluray instead of sd cards
>>743420439Sony owns bluray so they collect licensing fees from it
I own 400 games on Steam. Am I cooked?
>>743412762you'd want an ssd with higher reliability than a maximally cheap chinese ssd if you didn't want them to fail
i mean there is nothing stopping anyone from just burning your steam games onto a disc and putting goldberg emu on it
>>743416983That's not nail polish, finger nails have a natural pinkish color. Not that you'd know.
>>743412367Games already cost 80 euros each, would be fair for them to come with a ssd for that price
We really are going backwards huh?
