It costs money to publish a game on a physical medium. I think it all boils down to this.
And that most people actually prefer the digital editions.
Thx for your reply!
Regarding the money: on the other hand it would generate profit from collectors like me that would gladly pay a higher price. They could include it in the collectors edition instead the digital version that is included.
Hm - i think especially with such an old game series that was played by people who were used to goodies and big boxes, there could be a bigger fan group that would honour such an additional edition.
Maybe we could make a poll here regarding this topic

Hey, I get it. I used to have the collectors edition of BG2, those swanky 4 disks and an extra with the soundtrack and additional merchants in form of an extra patch. I also used to have 100+ of those boxes games came in, the size of a ream of paper.
In the end I decided it's not worth the space it took up in my home. And I know I'm not a complete old-timer (well, teens would not agree any more I guess

), but going digital was a great thing for me, even if - just like you - I'll need a whole night to dowload Baldur's Gate 3.
