I can see them forced to have some form of resellable media Ala switch maybe. But disc's as others have stated I think are on the way out. Esp bc they're so easily scratched and everything else....like good for a time but should've had something else come in once cartridges caught back up in price. They were always quicker by a long shot....it's just that memory prices weren't there in the 90s or until now even really. If I don't like or don't want a game I want some way to sell it off and can't do that digitally bc they won't equate it to the same thing as selling a used copy XD

I want a return to cartridges, like the switch.

I have never ever managed to scratch a disc to the point where it became unusable. Neither have I ever had problems when buying used discs. I agree about the speed though; at this point my internet speed surpasses the speed with which games are installed from a disc

I mean I've bought plenty that were scratched but still worked. Only one that didn't really was the twilight princess we found randomly in my church parking lot when I was younger. I just don't like the speed since no one seems to get nailing down loading times. I'd love something Ala switch games tho....
