So is this a step in the direction of cartridge games for PC? That is I buy a game on a small chip in a small cartridge and plug it into some sort of port (with chaining) and access the game directly without installing it and it works about as fast as if on a RAM disk. And of course it will be protected from copying so good-bye Steam? And it can be updated via software patches since no one seems able to write a game that works out of the box.
That would be awesome. You could keep a master copy on the disk that isn't writeable and have a copy that you run and keep updated. I hope optical storage dies.
