HEAR ME OUT… We bring back Cartridges. This is what saved gaming.

This sounds wild, but as a filmmaker this bad boy here is one of the fixes. Problem: the game industry requires large sizes to run your games, disks don’t even hold all your game anymore they’re a physically token that was proof of purchase and instruction to download like the other half of your game via internet. Today’s disks don’t even contain the full game. It downloads onto the consoles SSD, then you can play. Prob.2- GAMERS want to OWN the entirety of their game for later transport and later trade/sell the game they bought.

Solution These larger format CF2s have the size (up to 1TB) to allow full game ownership and fit new Gen titles, form factor is TINY, (2inches) and fast enough to download the game to SSD WAYYY faster than BluRay.

I even gamed older titles straight from them(runs DOOM) . This prevents heavy internet data usage to download games, you own the game and The CEOs can’t complain that "it won’t fit”. Yeah they can do something proprietary but the tech is there at a solid state 2 inch solution. (Yes I know we’re in a chip shortage)

UPDATE: Here’s the bigger picture scenario since people keep making odd comments and shortsighted remarks

Let’s say a game publisher or console provider goes out of business or burns to the ground.

Currently, Most new gen games contain HALF of your game on disc and count as a token of purchase which allows the download the OTHER HALF through your ISP at like 100gigs of data each time you download it. Depending on your data situation that might cost more or down throttle you. If the Server holder goes down, or out of business, loses rights, your legislation changes, or your game gets banned in your state/country (literally pornhub legislation, and angry moms have been coming at GTA since day 1). YOU LOSE ACCESS TO THE GAME TOU PAID FOR. Owning the game in its entirety is the STANDARD WE NEED TO GET BACK TO. Plain and simple.

Size and cost of gigs is relative and changes over time. I get that. I picked this format as an example for speed, physical size and capacity. Doesn’t have to be this quality or even this medium. CF2s are just ideal for ownership in all aspects aside from price currently.

Edit 2- form factor for consoles and portable PCs are getting smaller, none will prioritize a disc drive. RoGAlly, Steam Deck and Switch1/2 are proof of where we’re going with PC and consoles in the next decade. Ownership and form factor with longevity in mind for pocket sized consoles is why I’m looking at CF2 CFE style cards to contain the entire game.

Whether it’s supporting companies who do this like GoG or changing legislation, we gotta do it.
