Yea, so this doesn’t exist, but should it?

Think about:

  • TheMovieDB style identifiers with box art
  • Auto-generated and/or community created and upvoted DVD labels, case inserts, or USB/SSD stickers you can print yourself (no reason physical media has to be “round”)
  • Automated scripts for generating local media savers/installers from GOG and Steam

This doesn’t seem like a very difficult thing to create for the niche community of people that want physical copies.

      If you want the game to last forever, it assumes you’ve already got it sourced from somewhere DRM-free, where you can continually copy it to other healthy media. Nothing lasts forever, but this is meant to replicate a lot of the strengths of old consoles, fortunately without some of their own pitfalls like save batteries.
