Yeah, flash certainly wouldn’t work for actually running the game, but it would work great for a 1 time distribution/transfer method to the game to a pic/console’s drive.
The main reason for wanting a physical copy is so you can sell it when you are done with it. If the data degrades after a couple of years, it doesn’t do much good. A pressed disc will last for decades when taken care of.
Flash has a limited data retention time. With high capacity QLC flash, that time can be very short.
