Would it make sense to make a modular system with a disk-less base unit and a separate blu-ray drive addon (ala Sega CD or Turbografx CD)? It didn't quite work out then but perhaps the market is more receptive of this now.
I like physical since they are a static version of the product, unlike digital where it can be remotely revoked (music rights lost) or changed (ending to shadow of the tomb raider). But then again, physical disks don't last forever due to bit-rot. Of course, digital stores go away too.
Most likely years in the future, when I'm feeling nostalgic, it's easier to just download games that someone else archived and run in an emulator than go through the trouble of getting my old disks working.

Re: Real-Time Narrative Thriller The Occupation Hits PS4 in October
I wonder if there is much replay value. It should at least have multiple non-death endings and many hidden items.
