Honestly if my SSDs had art like that I might actually get a case with a clear side panel

Complaining about space on PC, are you playing on laptops or what??

You joke but i honestly feel games are getting to a point in size where revitalizing pc cd drives would be a boon

Honestly with how things are going wouldn’t be the worst idea if by PCIE 8 or some other form factor we switch to games being released as hot-swappable SSDs and we go back to physical media releases. We can even go full circle to those CM Stryker cases that had SSD ports in the front panels.

Absolutely not. It would cause either of these things to happen:
Super cheap low quality ssds that would be locked down like a mf making them useless if said game were to no longer be live (think about the amount of paperweights there would be if COD did this and they got rid of their servers)
An INSANE increase in wasted materials…..for a game.
Even with them getting dirt cheap ssds you will still be paying more for the game to offset that cost of the ssd. Or god forbid they eat a loss but make up for it by fully embracing the p2w and gacha shit.

I honestly don’t really get this complaint.
V3N0M-SN4K3
can be genius, no installation, just plug the SATA cable and play, also will justify 70 euro for a videogame

Ngl, if it mean being able to have a physical copy, I wouldn’t mind if games released on an SSD that you insert into some kind of external reader, or a reader that we could install in our PCs. But I also now that’d get really expensive really fast.

That would mess up with my cable management but still love that idea

A more robust SATA connector version and a sturdy slot would be pretty valid. 120 and 250gb ssds are pennies, I wouldn’t mind seeing physical releases on them.

Wonder how big tlou2 will be

Best of both worlds imo would be like what sega does
If you buy a game on steam you get the game ofc but you alsi get uncompressed rom and you can put it onto a physical copy

I’d love physical releases for PC like this. We also need compression tech like the PS5 on PC!

Honestly, 4TB NVME drive is arguably the best upgrade I’ve made.

Repacks on torrent sites will be half size. Real devs needs to come up with solutions, I dont need 4k textures, 4k intros and the different languages or extras. Not every game needs it but if you have a game larger than 50gb a lot of stuff should be optional to download.

No. Just no.

hehe.
luckily as well SSDs have become as cheap as HDDs were back in the day.
what I did many years ago is get a 8TB HDD and a 1TB SSD and turned it into cache. essentially making a 8TB SSD for all of my game needs.
even when i bought my 3TB HDD in 2012 i never managed to actually fill it up,

So they cost 120 bucks instead of 60 you mean?

You’re gonna buy games on a cartridge like the good old days
