Hell, my dad still bitches about cars not having carburetors anymore and hates electronic fuel injection.

New doesn't always mean progress. If you want a car analogy, this is more like BMW charging a monthly subscription for heated seats.

And yes, I realized long ago the death of physical media was inevitable. Storage requirements have increased drastically and yet no one has any interest whatsoever in developing a successor to Blu-ray (which is 20 years old now). DVD was replaced in only a decade.

No company is interested in making affordable read-only [insert format] that last for 30+ years. All 3 aspects are for archiving not for money-making.

I'm old school. I still listen to music at the house (not the truck obviosly) on reel to reel through a 70s receiver. I can rebuild and tune a carb much much easier than coming up with a tune on digital fuel injection myself (not just somoene elses tune) but I really don't see the gotta have disc for a PC or console (though I'm not a console player).
