MODERATORS
To be fair physical media for PC has always been a bit different than the "insert disc, play game" you get on consoles.
For modern PCs most don't have optical drives anymore and it'd have to be USB sticks and there's no guarantee if It would outlast an optical disk. Kind of a tough situation for archival purposes.
And to be fair, there are so many games on steam or GOG that I want to play, we can wait until they are on sale. Usually for a fraction of the original price.
And depending on who you ask, most keep an eyepatch and pirate hat always on standby for these kind of things.
