    Flash has a limited data retention time. With high capacity QLC flash, that time can be very short.

      Yeah, flash certainly wouldn’t work for actually running the game, but it would work great for a 1 time distribution/transfer method to the game to a pic/console’s drive.

        The main reason for wanting a physical copy is so you can sell it when you are done with it. If the data degrades after a couple of years, it doesn’t do much good. A pressed disc will last for decades when taken care of.
