This could be the case, or could not be. They shared a post on Reddit 19 hours ago from their official account, and I thought it might be nice to share that here, at least to spark some discussion.
They simply shared a post titled:
Shall we? 📦💿

If they do that, I’d re-buy all my gog games instantly collectors edition. As long as they have no DRM, no internet requirements and I can play them whenever, wherever, I’m buying.
Gog already are no drm and you could write it to a disc if you really wanted to. It’s been like that for a very long time. Given you would be writing a data disc you can even put multiple games on a single DVD in some cases.
Their windows installers are usually split at 4GB - huh, guess what fits nicely on a 4.7GB DVD…
Why am I the only one that has a BD-R drive?
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
I have one. I rarely use it but I still do occasionally. I’m due a BR dump in the near future actually
You can buy am external DVD burner for like 25 bucks these days, but blue ray is still over a hundred.
It wasn’t until recently. They used to be considerably cheaper.
Sorry. A blue ray BURNER is pretty expensive. A drive is cheap
That’s not why those drives are expensive. They’re expensive because they can run cfw to enable ripping of UHD and now xbox and nintendo discs.
Pretty sure I bought my Blu-ray burners for like $40 long ago
I know that, but I’d like to buy the cool disk with official box and all that why not.
They could sell decent USB optical drives to go with them
Is there such a thing?
I’ve had a few crappy ones, they’re basically e-waste after a few uses or trips. So I revert to a full size internal sata one or the same but in a 5.1/4" external caddy (powered).
Good idea NGL, won’t mind either way to be honest
