You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge… Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os’s but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.
Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.
They actually did that with Unreal Tournament 2003 and maybe 2004 as well. The idea never caught on. Probably because DVDs are slow and you cannot save your progress.
Maybe that is why Tim Sweeney hates Linux. He got a trauma from that.
And in DOS times games often came with a utility to create a boot-disc. A floppy that loads only what is needed to run the game to save RAM.
