Final Fantasy VII Remake being GKC and 90 GB in size made me realize that there's no option for modern-looking physical games without some serious compromises in asset quality
The media is extremely expensive. A simple solution would be to use cheaper storage card, ones that don't cost over 10 USD, just to hold the data and then install the full game onto the console
Of course, this would require more storage, but GKC already requires extra storage anyway. This is similar to how the PS5 handles games while still keeping loading times short. Games that are too large could come on two discs, but the entire game would still be present in the physical media
Smaller games could use smaller card sizes (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB), so you wouldn't need to rely on an unnecessarily expensive 64 GB card
This would significantly cut the costs with physical media and we would bd seen more true physical games instead of so many code-in-boxes
