    I’d be glad without the silly slow disks.

    Games aren’t streamed from the optical disks anymore. 8th gen of consoles (PS4 and Xbox one) required installing to a drive in order to play since HDD/SSD over sata is faster than optical.

    Don’t most games need net for verification or updating anyway?

    Yes, for updates, but I feel like you also need to do that on PC since we haven’t invented magic quite yet.

    So it’s not yours even with a silly disk in hand

    This does not follow from your previous statement. “If fish can’t fly then why are tomatoes red.” Games with the full game on disk work as is with whatever version of the game was put on there unless it requires online access.
