No.
or the main point, modern games can't really fit on physical media.
I suppose. But I remember old games came on multiple disks.
I also think that chasing every higher graphics has reached diminishing returns. Style counts for more than fidelity, I think.
Discs is probably not the future but we could go back to cartridges with solid-state storage and get more than enough for a large game. It doesnβt have to be particularly compact so I assume companies could save money on not opting for the most state of the art densest drives
