  • I don’t know when the last time you installed Linux was, or what distros you’ve used, but it’s beyond trivial now usually. Finding an executable online and running that, as Windows users have to do, is often more difficult than installing Linux. There is almost no user who couldn’t install Linux today, but there are many who will never try.



  • I agree mostly, but I think the way this could be made to work is made on-demand, maybe without a physical disk. Basically just have a bunch of empty boxes and print the cover when someone orders a case. I guess it probably wouldn’t be too hard to print the disk on-demand either, but it’d be easier not to.

    Still, regardless of how it’s done, I won’t be purchasing it. I don’t want to store a bunch of cases. It was cool back in the day, but it was also a pain in the ass. It was just a necessity. Now it isn’t. They’d literally just be clutter.


  • I wouldn’t mind manuals coming back, digitally or physically, but honestly I have no desire for boxes. It’s literally just taking up space. I’d rather have game artwork or something. I mostly like what GoG does for game preservation, but I don’t think this is going to go that well. I guess if they’re manufactured on-demand then it doesn’t really cost them anything though, so it’s nice to offer.
