      Tell me what console or system or even game manufacturer that lets you buy their game, download it to a portable micro SD and then lets you play it from there.

      Not even steam lets you do that and you don’t even have a direct way of knowing what’s on the micro SD card without making a label for it which good luck.

        First, you can totally make a steam library on a portable device like a microsd or an external drive (I do and I play on different places with the same drive), and play it on any device running steam.

        And don’t start the “oh but you need steam installed”, since with the proprietary sd, you gotta have the propriety device as well.

        Second, sure I can just lavel it, a 3 seconds job. Don’t you need the proprietary sd to come labeled as well? Also, I don’t need to label anything, I have dozens of games there and select which one I want to play.

        Your defense of OP’s comment is also weird but that’s okay, we all are always learning.

        Each format of game has its own merits ans they are only better than another on an objective comparison, as for subjective, just use whatever you want.

        Kerbal Space Programm - and I guess most non-DRM-games on Steam, as long as they keep all their stuff in the game dir.

          No steam is definitely not the bastion to use as they really aren’t gonna work. They like games tied to accounts.

          You could say GOG games but it really still defeats the point of it not being even close to similar to a physical game you could resell and having a nicely labeled piece of physical media.

          I know you aren’t the person originally with the really bad argument btw, but yeah the list is super small this would work for.

            There’s quite a lot, actually. Definitely not the norm, but not extremely rare either.
