Don’t forget downloading the installer and registering an account on some dubious site you’ve never heard of.
Whenever I pirated something in the 90’s I went to this site, covers archive, where I could print out the CD cover inserts. So in effect I pirated a physical copy, minus the box it came in.
I did this too but with DVDs. Also I bought a ton of DVD boxes on the internet. Still have some of the DVD:s in my shelf
I miss box art and gaming guides.
I was so confused when I got a game that only had a slip of paper inside.
It’s also a 100Gb download.
Fallout New Vegas did this to me over 10 years ago. Brought the box home from GameStop only to find the waste of cardboard wanted me to download the game from steam instead.
Lukily, disc is more often than not cheaper
