   @glassbottommeg @demofox Depending on how cheap this gets, I might be tempted to try and backup my Steam library just in case. Steam hasn't failed me yet, but current owners aren't going to live forever, so the risk is ever-present.

     @demofox oh this is neat!

     I mean it probably has applications for data centers and backup anyways, but also. Hrm. I wonder if we even can swing back toward physical ownership at this point?

     It feels like a thing that should happen eventually, even if just as a stylistic rejection of all that came before, I'm just struggling to imagine the circumstances in which that could arise. I guess maybe if something something climate collapse something network speeds/reliability go down especially globally?

     Possibly the storage medium for when the pendulum swings back towards us owning physical copies of music, movies, games again.
