Sure but with a physical disk the data can be dumped and cracked with enough time/effort
I think the era of functioning application shipped on the disk is kinda over so dumping the data on it wont count for much anyway. Knowing sony though they’ll never learn how to not make a crackable console considering their track record for this.
There are still lots of games that run from the disc. I just got the BG3 collector's edition that came with two disc's for that reason, same thing with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and others. I've played my Dark Souls 3 disc copy when I was going a little crazy from an internet outage before. There's others. It's mostly single-player of course, and you'll miss day one or future patches, but they exist.
I mostly know this because I'm a console player and unless it's free to play or extremely cheap, I always buy disc's, and usually used.
disks are cool until your dvd drive catches fire like that one gta streamer
Hasn't happened so far thankfully lol
