AI Summary

GOG is exploring a return to physical game copies, envisioning a simple process where a user clicks a title, orders it, and receives a boxed product. The company’s interest is sparked by nostalgia for the large, embossed boxes and manuals of early PC games like Guild Wars: Factions and World of Warcraft. GOG notes that the industry has largely shifted to digital distribution, but it sees potential in reviving the tangible experience that once defined PC gaming. The initiative reflects a broader curiosity about whether physical media can coexist with modern digital platforms.
