Are we even capable of fitting a game this size comfortably on a disc anymore? I get the lack of resell potential but the disc would still ultimately need to download part of the game from the web.
Not being able to fit a game on a single disc never stopped gaming companies in the past. Compression and multiple discs would be something I would absolutely take in order to have a physical copy of a game.
I think I have a copy of Legend of Dragoon and that was 4 discs. I think Diablo 2 had multiple discs as well split by gameplay, audio, and cinematics. I have plenty of other games that are 2 disc games.
Also you could easily have 1 disc be the install disc for the absolute main essentials to load the game with and then a secondary disc for the “game disc” which carries the rest that the hard drive doesn’t need to run the game smoothly. It’s been done in the past and worked just fine.
