I have shit that’s older than I am that plays without apparent problem.
Maybe the problem is your overactive imagination

and what’s your answer to ancient css and brds?
Cry cry cry about the end of physical games, but what’s your answer for replacement?

A solution exists.
Ok then what is it?
Every downvote is an admission that “I have no imagination”
Lol sure that’s what it is.

Shitting your pants isn’t a clever response

Interesting so you have no answer yourself, only bile and weird things to say, which don’t near making a shred of sense. Awesome talk. Enjoy the meth, I guess.

there is no modern physical medium to replace 30 year old garbage optical discs.
So then don’t replace them :)
Why do they need to be replaced?

Tell it to the crybabies throwing tantrums over Sony stopping production of physical discs
ms_lane@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
I am also upset they are ending disc production.
I don’t understand why they need to be phased out or ‘replaced’ as a medium other than greed.
You’ve said in other posts that physical media can often have a 30 year lifespan, but that’s more than Sony’s digital lifespans. You typically only get ~10-15 years for Sony’s digital services (upfront: I asked gemini about this) which is half the lifespan.
Why does optical need replacing with something else if that something is worse?

We’re not at any kind of crisis point.
Blu-ray discs are still perfectly usable. A quad-later Blu-ray could still hold a modern AAA title like Call of Duty, and a good many indie titles. Maybe it won’t be able to hold GTAVI, but we’ve put games on two discs in pretty much every console generation.
After AAA games get too big for Blu-rays, there’s still flash memory. Nintendo has been using flash carts for two console gens with no problem; there’s no reason Sony and Microsoft couldn’t design their own flash cart slot. The nice thing about those, you probablynever have to change compatibility due to file size ever again; since flash memory is always getting smaller. And if you design the physical object correctly, you can leave room for a lot of extra chips.
But that’s not all. Nobody would be complaining about the end of hard copies if the publisher just gave you the files to do with as you please. No DRM, no “anti-cheat” crippleware, no day one updates that finish the actual game, no launcher.
Deliver that via online service, add some retro game preservation projects, and now you’re a Good Old beloved pillar of online game storefronts.

Blu-ray discs are still perfectly usable
So are VHS tapes and vinyl records
But I guess all these people having seizures because PlayStation discs are getting discontinued is meaningless?
Save your die tribes for someone who gives a shit what you have to say

So… Why would discs need to be replaced?
Alright, so let’s say we want to replace disks anyway. So… You forgot flash memory exists?
It’s kinda ironic when you say nobody has a solution or an imagination, but… Well… You clearly seem to missing the obvious solution to the problem you personally invented.

Who said anything about expecting games to last forever?
And in what possible way Is “Discs will ONLY last 30 years, so we should just get rid of them!” A sane thought to voice?
Is everyone on this platform off their fucking meds?

Aah. I didn’t know what you meant with “mental” until I found this comment you’re responding to. I get it now.

The first piece of advice I’d give to anyone new to Lemmy or Piefed is that the “block” functionality is essential. Don’t hesitate to block users, communities, and even whole instances. It significantly improves the experience.

YOU! You’re screaming at your fucking piss babies!
Tattorack@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Not what was said, but sure let’s explore that anyway.
Why not have games that can be played forever? The only kind of people who’d see something wrong with that are corporations. You’re not a corporate shill, are you?
We also invented read-only pressed quarts memory that’ll hold information for 50,000 years. Sounds like a good place to starts, right?
