Every time I read this fake ecological motivation I aks myself why people think we can save the planet without some plastic and paper jn a little box of human art, instead of considering real problems like big industry procedures and food packaging. Priorities.
Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?

I don’t think we should create more waste in our world, so I’m voting against it.
I’d want GOG to focus more on Linux and on getting more games on their store.

I’m a vegetarian, using my muscular bike a lot and trying to buy as much local food as possible, so I’m trying to do what I can.
I’m sorry if I offended people, by saying these physical dics would be an ecological problem for me. I agree that just a few people would probably buy them and it wouldn’t be a big deal.
It’s just that, as long as we have a DRM free digital games, I don’t really see what physical games would bring except easier resale (and collection/decoration).
If it helps GOG bring better features and games, I’m not really against it then, even if I wouldn’t buy their physical games.

Those would be collectibles, and as that more or less art pieces, so not really waste, unless you classify all art as waste which would be sad in my eyes.

I understand this.
Still plastic waste is a huge problem.
Dependeing on the price, anyone could be tempted by collecting these, where collecting psintings would be too prohibitive.

i mean i did run out of wall space two paintings ago, but that’s what local art fairs and farmers markets are for. plus you get to meet the artist.

Such boxes are made mostly of cardboard, the amount of plastic is rather low even more so should they leave out discs, by replacing them with flash storage for example.
