I actually bought my copy of DOS from Walmart. I will never pay for digital copies. If I pay for something I want to retain my rights not have them hang on the whim of a worthless businessman/woman.

Any updates on a physical release? It does not have to be through a retailer like Walmart or Amazon. I would actually rather purchase directly from Larian so they can retain the full amount.

Cost wise, Larian would make a lot more from selling physical copies on their site rather than selling digital through Steam or GOG. They both take a huge cut. A printed box, DVD's and perhaps a printed map will barely cost $2 and shipping would be media mail so only about $2 more. How long does it take someone to take a automatically printed sticker and plop it on a box then put said box on the outgoing mail table?

How much does Steam pilfer these days? 30%-50%? So for every $50 sale Larian only makes about $25-$37 vs. closer to $45 if they printed and sold their own physical copies.
