They still make CDs and Blu-Rays you know. The others are obsolete technologies.

And DVDs (movies get released as DVD, BR and UHD4K) and Floppies (New Amiga releases with a physical release) and Cartridges (evercade)

I think all games, even those in physical media, are licenses to play them, is what OP means. You might be thinking of download carts, which doesn't contain game data, but makes you download games.

[-] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well yes that’s what I assumed they meant, a non-download cart wouldn’t be just a license, it would be the license and the game data

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Right, gotcha. My bad.

I miss HDDVDs. Their better error correction will be missed more, soon, as this stuff degrades a bit.

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

No error correction could compensate for Warner Brothers discs...

Bluray is higher quality than all the streaming bullshit that's usually lower than default settings x265. Also for anime the bluray is a great way to support the creator and used as a metric for deciding if a series gets picked up for more releases.

Both of those are dying unfortunately

I like blurays but at some point we need go acknowledge the truth
