Created by Mark Fowlie
Closes on

Game developers when releasing a new game must provide a physical copy either disc or USB key. This media must be transferable and saleable.

A physical copy of a game allows you to have ownership of the game.
It allows you to share the game with friends and family.
Having a physical game allows you to sell it and supports business that sell 2nd hand games.
2nd hand games can help those on low incomes to purchase games.
