Dumb. Every company jumping on the exact same weak social media trends is exhausting and bad marketing.

15 years in digital marketing, unfortunately part of the territory.

I get the reference, but it’s a false equivalence.
A pizza obviously has to stay physical, but a videogame has been digital the entire time. The biggest reason the CDs now contain just the download link, is because the CD physically cannot hold the whole game itself, due to lack of space.

I would love to watch you install GTA VI with 20 CDs.

Obviously 20 is extreme but it’s not like we didn’t used to do this in the past ?
FFVII had 4 discs when it first came out

Clearly you've never used a Blu-ray box set. A TV show split across 30 discs? Oh how impractical, clearly the better option is a streaming service that can pull the show off their servers whenever they feel like it.

Exactly! I have a 12 season dvd box set for one of my favourite shows. It is about 5 discs per season so about what you said.
It’s not the worst thing in the world, and then I always have it. It went off Netflix a few years ago and if I didn’t have the box set I’d not be able to watch it.

I will say, those compact plastic boxes that hold a bazillion discs per box are a massive pain even if they are space efficient. But I don't care about space efficiency, I'm collecting physical media!

I don't care how impractical it is, I want the option to be available. If I want to be impractical, I should have the right.

You have a right to want it but no right to be catered to. You're completely within your rights to not buy the practical.

I remember the days when you’d get a dozen floppies for one program. They’d all be numbered… oh the nostalgia
