            That's why I only buy games on GOG. After purchase I archive the installer, and it's mine forever. On console you are really fucked.

                It's already happening on other platforms. Doom dark ages only has something like 28 megabytes on the disc.

                    you can say that about a lot of games and their devs. tons of great indie games out there.

                        I'm not even aware of any ps3/xbox360 games that are fully contained on discord. Maybe Orange Box?

                          AFAIK, most PS3 (and even PS4) / Xbox 360 games will play and function with just the disc, an internet connection will just let them download updates to the game.

                          It was PS5 and Xbox One where the discs became glorified physical download codes, and did not actually contain the entire game.

                            Not in 10+ years when you can't download the rest of the game from the servers because they don't put the whole game on the cartridge anymore. Not to mention patches and DLC aren't on the cartridge either.

                                have you seen any of their pokemon releases the past years? its actually embarassing how bad the games are in terms of quality and polish, for a game that is the biggest IP in the world.

                                  Nintendo has not developed those. Blame gamefreak.

                                  Check out the new pokemon snap which isn't that dev. It is legit a 9/10 game. I play it a ton.

                                    they do own the pokemon IP though, so even though they dont develop the game, i'd argue its still their fault if the game turns out ass. its time they put some stress on gamefreak to do better.

                                          They do put the full game on the cartridges, for example I can play TOTK on a new switch with just the cartridge without ever going online.
