the business model could still be successful if implemented properly. 

What I'm saying is that it is successful. VGE is a successful chain of stores in Iowa.

all of this being said, optical media has not ever been a good option for gaming ever in any reason exept for price. we only were able to run games purely on disc for around a decade to 15 years really, and even at its height it came with multiple compromises.

if xbox really wanted to keep physical going foward, they'd need to use carts/cards, same with sony. it will break physical backcompact, but its really the only way imo.

They wouldn't need to use carts or cards. Just use multiple disks like Baldur's Gate 3 does. Also, you only need the disc for installing the game. Modern discs install the game to the HDD (From the data on the disk itself and not from the internet as most Digital-Only idiots will claim) to play the game. 

i know, i was agreeing and stuff
