realistically everyone SHOULD be pushing for physical games to become like vinyl (a premium option for enthusiasts) & for digital ownership to be a real thing regardless of platform instead of something we assume is real because it's the right thing to do. but y'all just like performing anger on the internet over actually standing on/for anything so nothing good will come of this 🫠
Daniel Ahmad@ZhugeEX

The truth is that the technology and costs of physical media aren't able to compete with digital. Have a game over 64GB for Switch 2? It can never be fully on the cartridge and will require an additional download. Have a game under 64GB? You can use a cartridge, but you have to price the game over $60 to make any real margin given the cost of the cart. Then there's the speed of the cards themselves which means it's more beneficial for some large open world games to be installed to the Switch 2 storage than streamed from the cartridge. This is the same issue that Sony and Xbox have run into with discs, and why every game has to be installed to the SSD. There's also the 100GB limit for PS5 discs which means disc costs to double if you need to use a second disc (100GB+ game). And I haven't even touched on production, packaging, shipping, retailer margin and other costs / material processes. Without a breakthrough in physical media, the entire games industry will be 100% digital at some point. That being said, retail still plays an important role and Nintendo is going to dominate the space going forward. It remains to be seen whether Sony takes a material hit from the lack of retail presence outside of digital download / PSN cards.

i wish i could say one day people will have more interesting things to say about games than to compare download sizes & price tags, but it’s been your only talking points for as long as social media has existed. i hate y’all bad.

@cheezyc64 yeah, the message needs to be it’s not a competitive game which is different from “single player focused”

Splatoon North America@SplatoonNA

#SplatoonRaiders is mainly a single-player adventure, but up to four players can also team up online or via local wireless. Create a room for your friends, secure it with a password if you like, and progress the story together!

@cheezyc64 “this is a single player focused game…. that you can play through with 3 other people on or offline…. & also if you play by yourself you can still recruit other people” sounds pretty multiplayer focused lol
