Not to mention several laptops nowadays don't even come with an internal CD-ROM anymore. Maybe that's why.
Still, I miss the days when we'd be able to play things without having to be connected to the internet first. Would have been nice to play Sims 4 on like, a boring roadtrip or something else that typically doesn't guarantee an accessible wifi connection. Freakin Origin stopped me from doing that this summer. Like??? I paid for this game? You better let me play it when I want to? Ugh.
Some desktop cases do not even come with external slots. Just like the 3.5 drives, someday CD/DVD drives on an computer will be obsolete.
Yes but you can buy external disc drives.
That is true and you can also buy one for the laptop as well, companies are less dependent on physical media because it reduces overhead in certain areas of production. Those that do not have access to the internet are considered casualties being as long as they can get the majority to connect. The writing was on the wall for a long time that anything that was on physical media was doomed. I myself prefer physical media but in the long run it does not matter because unlike the past where you did not need the internet or an third party to completely install an program like now. You basically have to pray when an company goes belly up they allow the user to disengage from needing them to finish an install or let you DL the Install file like GOG does. I have accepted DLing games being it is getting harder to get your hands on an hard copy.
