This was brought on by the Sony news that all disk based distribution will stop.

At what point do I have be concerned that a cart or disk I buy won’t work on my system without a mandatory download?

The ps3 seem pretty clear but I seem to recall a game or two that did require a download, or system update, to play.

How many ps4/ps5 games would I be able to play without a server connection?

What about switch 1 /2 games?

Is there a website that tracks this or a way to tell?

I'm looking for console games. I'm not really into newer PC games.

    The traditional appeal for GOG has always been old games. They have newer stuff too, but old games are the primary focus. That's why GOG used to be called Good old Games.
