You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge... Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os's but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.

Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.

Should also mention that some games stream assets from the drive they’re installed on and will perform much worse if they’re being streamed from a disk. Also if you have it installed on read only media you’re kind of fucked once you need to update.
