Dear god, I can’t imagine a game publisher wanting to distribute SSD’s with their games on them. The price of memory is skyrocketing right now – not just RAM, but solid state flash storage too.
Chad Kroeger wants you to look at this graaaaph and weep.
If there’s any optimistic “stick it to the man” future to be dreamed of, it’s one where publishers go back to shipping Big Box-style packages, with 3-5 Blu Ray discs. But even that is woefully unrealistic - Rockstar is just cementing what Valve has known for years: why pay for packaging when the player just downloads the whole game anyway.
nah, at some point we’ll go back to cartridges, but theyll just be ssd drives
