As people mentioned the costs of maintenance are very minimal, ensuring these "beloved" gaming companies earn multi-millions. Before the cost was at least justified, where they gave you a manual you could read away from the screen (I don't have a tablet, Kindle, or similarly stupid device) and learn how the game worked.

With digital distribution not only can most gaming companies control your gaming experience, but they also cash in stupid profit margins. People remain ignorant to the fact, and continue to buy games at grossly inflated prices.

I know there was a free-drm version on GOG, but there is no reason not to have a box and a manual in 2014. GOG also makes me suspicious now due to all this "Galaxy" business.

Long live "The Scene." It's there for a reason.
