Video Games Lost Their Discs. This Box Could Fix It

A community movie library is showing up in neighbourhoods that already trade paperbacks, and it solves a problem video game owners know too well now that discs are disappearing from the box. The idea started with the tiny free libraries people build for books, then jumped to DVDs in Portland, Oregon, where a leave one, take one box now circulates movies instead of novels. From there the conversation turns to whether the same box could hold vinyl, and whether a video game with no disc could still get passed from friend to friend. It ends on a harder question: why the gaming industry keeps landing good remakes while movie remakes mostly miss, using a recent live action flop as the example that kicked off the debate.
