I have quite a few PC games, single games and series. And not one is a digital download. While i can understand part of a companies reason for doing a digital only download, it also makes it much less likely that i will ever buy/play the game, in general. I have always prefered having the physical disk in hand.
Most of the stores I visit don't sell any PC games any more other than $10 casual games for people who don't know how to download stuff from the internet, Blizzard games, and The Sims. The rest of what uesd to be the PC section is just full of game time cards/facebook credits/other game currency cards, etc. Even world of warcraft is now being sold as a little card in the store which is a code to download the game, instead of selling it in a box. Oh yeah, and a digital download is better for the environment too.
Better get used to digital downloads, they're here to stay. Why do you hate them so much? It's a lot easier and more convenient. The only advantage of a disc is not waiting for the download, but that's just a one time thing. You don't need the disc in the drive, so you certainly don't need it "in" or "on" hand ever. I can understand having a physical item for the sake of collection, but if that's not why, just download the game, burn it onto a disc, and there you go- you have a physical copy.
Digital downloads make me MORE likely to buy games, not less, because it's much more convenient and easy (this is a double edge sword, but hey, nothing's perfect)

Gameing Gone Green.. the idea alone is funny lol
Well i admit i do like collecting. But I'm also very careful with my things to make sure they are here for ages to come. The idea of not having it physically is just off putting. Your also screwed if a comp isn't connected to the Internet.
I still have my old pc copy of 2007 vanadiel collection. As well as the Wotg expansion disk. I actually used it recently to reinstall it on a comp. But that aside, i would like an updated version.
If they only offer the digital DL then i would only be inclined to get that, and only that. If it were a disk, i would probably try for the full package.
