DRM-free storefront GOG hopes to revive physical PC games, offering a service where players can order boxed copies directly from their digital library.
The bad news is all the games will be on 5.25" floppy disks. /s
That’s a whole lot of disks
Please put in disk #57

Please do not make it disc only. Don’t get me wrong, I like discs a lot but not every PC has a DVD reader anymore. Something like a USB drive or an SD card would be much better.
I’d say that’s a good idea for them to offer it, but also USB sticks can’t hold the data over as long a time as other media. SD cards are a nice compromise but a little more expensive, you probably knew all of this, so don’t mind me.
I agree! Just clone Nintendo’s clamshell boxes with a game on a personalized sd card and more space for manuals, posters and stuff. I think a good approach is to move forward.
I’d be interested in buying a couple. I have been thinking about getting an external optical drive for ripping music CDs anyway.
I went as far as setting up a home server to host a load of ripped media, it’s definitely worth it. I’ve got my own netflix and Spotify wrapped up into one service I don’t even need a subscription fee to use. The main problem is that most of my favourite music is released as singles on YouTube rather than physical album releases so I still have to manually change the metadata to upload it.
You sound like a cool cunt, not a weird one.
I’m down tbh
