Even disk-based games on newer consoles often don’t include the full game

That's pretty rare despite being constantly mentioned in this thread. I can think of a few that are strictly multiplayer games or the Master Chief Collection which is just a huge net installer disc.

Otherwise games still become gold and are playable start to finish off disc. Switch games on the other hand have quite a few that require a download.

Its incredibly niave to think it costs Sony, co-developer of blu-ray, $10 to press a game onto a blu-ray disc. Its probably costs a dollar or less to manufacturer a disc by bow. They can sell blurray movies for $9.99 and still profit.

It will definitely be cheaper for Sony to stick with optical discs next gen if they don't drop the drive entirely.

Its actually Woden's Day for the old English god of Mercury but then in French it's just Mercredi

Sun day, Moon Day, Tiw's Day, Woden's Day, Thor's Day, Friga's Day, Saturn's Day

In French and other languages these line up pretty with with the planets instead of the old English gods.

I would argue that Vice City has a great soundtrack, one of the best. but it has real music, not "video game music" in other words music written specifically for it.

Not for long. Exercise does massively help depression. Being able to get yourself to exercise while depressed is the hard part.
