  I picked up a 1TB NVMe for literally $38 this week. Absolutely absurd how inexpensive SSDs are right now.

  Oh yeah, let’s create 250GB SSD cartridges per game because thry each cost about 26€

  You know how ridiculous that sounds, right?

    Yes, that does sound ridiculous, good thing I didn’t say it.

    If we move to a new era of physical games with NVME drives instead of CDs, I’d love it on a mostly unironic level.

    Better than the current state for PC games where you buy a physical release and its an empty box with a Steam code taped to the inside.

    Yes, everyone realizes how ridiculous that sounds. Why did you post it?

    Also, please don’t give EA any ideas.

    I mean if you really wanna maximize your spending you can get 150 1gb flash drives and trick the OS to thinking its one device.

    Or like just gets bigger drive that’s cheaper per GB like someone with a brain.

    And like how would cartridge games work anyways? most PCs have really limited sata slots
