Micro SDs are too fragile. Windows comes on a usb stick now. The problem with all of them is the internets just easier. Steam doesn't have to arrange labour to carry boxes. There's no reason to sell usb sticks when the customer can buy one and make their own game back up any way.
Problem with those is they require an adapter of some kind. Not as ubiquitous as USB.
It exists but the company is run by literally faggots and don't deserve your money.
basically non-viable for sizable modern games. cost is too high, medium is too unreliable, R/W speeds suck so larger games will take a long time to write, and when reading it's likely faster to just download it. if you're producing a novelty that's functionally trash, you might as well just produce a set of DVDs.
yes, they're typically called portable SSDs though.
Kind of the problem with all the portable USB stuff. There's barely any reason in cost not to use a USB stick or a portable SSD. They're both pretty cheap and can carry either a single small game or a full selection. There's never a real reason to use anything else outside of needing to use minimal space so a micro SD goes on the phone instead. Portable SSDs are fast enough to run games and have okay loading times while costing less than a switch game already. You could say size is a factor but lets be realistic here. None of us are transporting games via portable SSD unless it's a business trip and you have one in your lap top case any way. Modern storage is so large on machines you're spoilt for choice already. Even the biggest games (that aren't MMOs) are only 100 gig ish, so you're fitting about 5 of those onto a small modern drive. And most games aren't breaking 10 gig.
TBH I'm going to take photos and throw them up on collectors groups asking what's worth selling off. Space is more of a premium than the profit. If someone else can enjoy my childhood games then all the better.
