Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?

  Gog already are no drm and you could write it to a disc if you really wanted to. It’s been like that for a very long time. Given you would be writing a data disc you can even put multiple games on a single DVD in some cases.

  Their windows installers are usually split at 4GB - huh, guess what fits nicely on a 4.7GB DVD…

    I know that, but I’d like to buy the cool disk with official box and all that why not.

      They could sell decent USB optical drives to go with them

        Is there such a thing?

        I've had a few crappy ones, they're basically e-waste after a few uses or trips.
        So I revert to a full size internal sata one or the same but in a 5.1/4" external caddy (powered).

        It wasn’t until recently. They used to be considerably cheaper.

      I have one. I rarely use it but I still do occasionally. I’m due a BR dump in the near future actually
