They do. sorta. It’s definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.
Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.
Transfer the BDROM to my SSD. Literally the same thing as downloading it online. I don’t need it to read off the disc while I play. 360 did this and it worked perfectly fine.
Discs don’t have the capacity to store modern games anyways. I mean, how many disc would it take to store Starfield? Its’s not going to work.

Still possible, but why would that be useful to anyone?

The same thing except you then have to pay for the disk, distribution and worry about stock and so on.

I guess I haven’t been keeping up to date with the latest compact disc technology. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cool stuff. I’ll probably get into that in the future, only so many external drives one can have lying around.
