This was brought on by the Sony news that all disk based distribution will stop.
At what point do I have be concerned that a cart or disk I buy won’t work on my system without a mandatory download?
The ps3 seem pretty clear but I seem to recall a game or two that did require a download, or system update, to play.
How many ps4/ps5 games would I be able to play without a server connection?
What about switch 1 /2 games?
Is there a website that tracks this or a way to tell?
Anecdotally, my Switch 1 copy of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy has a little warning on it that it requires a download (IIRC, only Spyro 1 was included on the cart). But I don’t know if these warnings are common or required.
