Dude, what are you talking about?

For all the non opti game who take more than 100Go of space ? Multiple DVD/Blu-ray ?

Yes. That's how it was done before, no reason to not do this now. Wing Commander 4 came on 6 CDs. As you progressed through the game, you kept advancing through them.

Update: actually if a game need a update how to do this ? Download a zip file to apply the patch ? Possibility to directly write the patch on the DVD/Blu-ray for future install ?

As Blu Rays are read only, you obviously can't apply the patch there. The patches were always downloaded and applied to the game parts you had on your hard drive. What was wrong with that?

If we use DVD/Blu-ray we need a player to install the game

You need a device to read physical media to actually read physical media, yes.

it's not how things work now

It's not how things work because games that came on physical media had literally no advantage anymore at some point. With physical media just being used to speed up the first install in your always-online environment and bandwidth being no longer an issue, they just became obsolete. If I could have played half life 2 without steam using my disc, it would have been worth keeping. With the box being essentially just a bulky envelope for a product key, it turned out to be just a hassle.

At some point, steam will enshittify or shut down. That's when we will realize that online only distribution might not have been such a great idea.

Liest man das "iss nicht" oder "is' nicht"?

What about... Physical media? Like, ordering a dvd from amazon with your game on it that you then play on a machine that's not even connected to the Internet?

Yeah, I anticipated that. Just digging my way through the lectures now and will then play single player against ai or preferably multiplayer against my kids.

So there's a sale now and I got champions on steam for like 2,50 euros. Let's see what kind of ride I'm in for, thank you again for the input :)

I doubt the actual "feature" is much more than a single line that tells GDAL to translate it from one format to the next, so the real thing here is the convenience of having a webpage that provides this special case as a service. Geojson is easy to read in essentially every language now, so this shouldn't have been hard to do even before this website.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage

The "5-dimensional" descriptor is only a marketing term, since the device has 3 physical dimensions and no exotic higher dimensional properties. The fractal/holographic nature of its data storage is also purely 3-dimensional. The size, orientation and three-dimensional position of the nanostructures comprise the so-called five dimensions.

☹️

/edit

Further down in the article it is a little clearer...

In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it.

The website even lists a little more...

In order to increase the data capacity of optical storage, there is the potential of storing more than one bit in a single voxel by implementing multiplex technology. The recently developed 5D optical storage technique uses birefringence as an extra degree of freedom – the property of a medium whereby its refractive index varies depending on the polarization and direction of incident light. Birefringence generated by the orientation and size of optical nano-gratings offers two extra dimensions, providing much higher storage capacities.

So, it's supposedly three dimensions of position plus angle and (maybe?) polarity. So, it seems to be more than just a marketing gimmick, but I can't find any information about the resolution of those additional two parameters, so I can't tell if a single voxel stores two bits or two terabits.

Wow.

No.

Yeah, the difference between subsets and equality seems to be lost for them.

That said, I'm not sure if you'd really want to work for Apple.
