    People seem weirdly attached to the idea of discs, in my experience. Without anything but anecdotes to back it up, I feel like people view discs as adult and cartridges as childish.

      Might be a generational thing you’re perceiving. For someone about my age, carts were what we used as little kids (NES, SNES) and a little longer if you stuck with Nintendo (N64) over PlayStation. The PlayStation kids tended to view Nintendo as “kid stuff.”

        Yes, I’ve considered that. Nintendo has mostly stuck to cartridges and their games are mostly cartoony, which is associated with childishness.

      I feel like most people don’t care they just want physical media and not be required to only go digital.
