INTRODUCING A LIMITED FLOPPY EDITION OF CYBERPUNK 2077!
2024-04-01
Are you a fan of sleeper gaming PCs?
Do you yearn for the retrofuturistic experience of the original
Cyberpunk?
Do you miss the good ol? days when game installation was a ritual
of its own?
Whichever of the above describes you best, then you?ll love the
Floppy Edition of Cyberpunk 2077!
Nowadays, in the era of digital distribution, most PCs come with
no drives. However, we also heard many voices from people within
our community who love the vintage experience of manual
installation. We get it! After all, CD PROJEKT started by
distributing games on CDs.
That?s why we?ve decided to explore something you?ve been asking
us for since even before the original release ? Cyberpunk 2077 on
floppy diskettes!
Embrace the ritual of classic game installation using 97,619 3.5?
diskettes. Make sure to invite friends over and schedule shifts,
as our initial estimations indicate that it might take about 2
months of non-stop diskette-swapping to finish.
Sounds awesome, right? It sure does! Follow the link below to
wishlist the Floppy Edition! Be prepared for a truck delivery
though!

I bought my computer a few years ago. It not only has no drives but it
has no bays to put drives into. Seriously, that is when I realized
that physical media was dead on the PC.

At least external USB drives exist.. unless it doesn't have that either.
No, he said he bought a computer, not a Mac. ;-)
My newest PC is seriously limited in drive-bays too. It has no
external bays (so no floppy, optical or tape drives, nor any 'fun' LCD displays), and its two 3.5" internal drive bays are essentially after thoughts, inconveniently hidden beneath the front panel and difficult
to access (even the niches for 2.5" SSDs are somewhat hidden).
Coming from my previous PC, which had five external bays and at least
as many internal, the lack of upgrade options is jarring. Then again,
I knew this when I bought the PC. I could have opted for a better
chassis, but I didn't feel like paying the premium. Anyway, I still
have my older towers, so if I /really/ to, I can always transfer the motherboard into the old case.
I don't need to use discs often... but when I do - whether floppy,
zip, optical or SD card - having external drives already in the drive
is a very welcome feature. Having to dig through the drawers trying to
find the necessary USB device is annoying.
