I see lots of people in this thread saying to go to the PC or the Steam Deck, but are we ignoring that both systems do not have a disc drive too?
I mean, aside from the disgusting price of the PS5 Pro not having a disc drive is the biggest offender (and the reason why I am not even considering buying it, despite being a Sony user since the 1st unit).
seems like not that long ago i would’ve thought that the idea of a PC without any disc drive was insane. i had to help a neighbor kid the other week when forced bitlocker bricked his gaming PC, sure enough it didn’t have any disc drive!
I was very confused by all this (also I don’t use consoles unless you want to consider the Deck as one) until it dawned on me that what people are apparently now calling “disk drives” are apparently “optical disk drives/readers”.
Aren’t games dematerialised on consoles nowadays? Or is it strictly a PC thing?

I mean, technically you can install a disc drive onto your computer if you want.
TIL you can still buy disc games for PC.
