Cartridges and online updates for PC games literally are from two different time periods. The entire premise is false.


A long time ago? Honey, updates weren’t even a thing until like 20ish years ago. They definitely weren’t a thing at the same time that cartridges were common.

How is this hacker news? Bad bot.
The original Baldur’s Gate was 5 cds and an additional cd for Tales from the Sword Coast. With all the open world travel that meant a lot of disc switching.
The most obnoxious bit about all that was that you had 6 cds to potentially scratch that might prevent you from playing the whole game.
