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.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

The same thing except you then have to pay for the disk, distribution and worry about stock and so on.
Still possible, but why would that be useful to anyone?
