They... still give discs to PC? I'm the only person with a disc drive in my house, and all 3 of us are PC gamers.

I mean, for all intents and purposes it is. Those are music CDs in place of game discs, and the GOG download code is where the user manual is. It's got a sweet map and a bit of a lore package for the game world, though.

Imagine having all those delays just for your game to come out and it just be a cd. Cyberfail

I like to collect cases and catalog my games. For PC games I don't care though, I'll buy those digitally.

It's a shame steam did kill it because you get no clearance bin discount and you're left to the mercy of publishers

I'm honestly OK with a digital only future for PC games. Physical media remains a large bottleneck for accessing storage and playback. Shit, the only thing CDs were for in later years were for a few executable files that allowed you to play the game; almost all other files were stored on the HDD. The only difference between PC and console is that once things are on PC, they stay there. With the exception of MMOs, they don't magically go away just because a publisher decides that it's no longer worth investing money in upkeep. Shit you bought on Steam back when Steam first launched can still be purchased and accessed.
