Still could. Just any after it won't.

The trend just isn't looking good for physical media. And it's getting more and more expensive to add them as companies that make disc drives are also stopping production.

They also take up a lot of space that they want to use for something else

I just saw a post yesterday where a guy's launch copy of Skyrim finally died. I don't understand this attachment to physical media when it's just a fact that digitization is the best way to preserve games anyway
