I would also like to see a second print-run for a disc with a whole playable game on it - like the one "Divine Divinity" disc I bought over ten years ago: insert the disc, install the game and play it.
While I am also more or less OK with the game disc requiring the Steam day 1 patch, I think the majority of backers who pledged for a physical copy did it specifically because they didn't want to have to deal with Steam (or even GOG). Otherwise, what is the purpose of a physical edition? Just another dust collector?
