People want retail games and if the big 3 can’t cover that market a new and more sustainable subject will fill that space. Maybe it’s time to bring back physical media to PC, a more open system where publishers could make profit selling their retail games similarly to vinyls for music.

    JFC, how are you this dense?

    I’ll spell it out for you then:

    Step 1: Buy DRM-free optical media

    Step 2: Place DRM-free optical media into an appropriate reader

    Step 3: Copy DRM-free files off optical media

    Step 4: You now have a digital backup for your cool collector’s item
